(RADIATOR) radiator install

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello -

There is no Windows application per se in the Radiator distribution.

Radiator is delivered in source code form and it is run from Perl.

Therefore you should run the radius server (the file called "radiusd") 
like this (in an MSDOS window):

	perl radiusd -foreground -log_stdout -trace 4 -config_file radius.cfg

The above assumes that you are in the Radiator distribution directory 
and your configuration file is called "radius.cfg".

You can of course use any name you wish for the configuration file.

regards

Hugh

Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
