(RADIATOR) How can I choose where Radiator gets installed?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Eivind -

This has been discussed numerous times on the mailing list, but what  
I generally do is as follows:

Create a distribution directory somewhere:

         mkdir /usr/local/src/Radiator

copy the source taball to this directory

         mv /tmp/Radiator-3.13.tgz /usr/local/src/Radiator

unpack the distribution

         cd /usr/local/src/Radiator

         gzip -c -d Radiator-3.13.tgz | tar xvf -

run the test suite (do not install)

         cd Radiator-3.13

         perl Makefile.PL

         make

         make test

         ***DO NOT*** make install

now you have a source directory from which you can run radiusd for  
testing

         perl radiusd -foreground -log_stdout -trace 4 -config_file  
**/your/configuration/file**

finally you can then set up your startup script so that it runs  
radiusd from the distribution directory.

Keeping your source distributions separate like this allows you to  
very easily switch between versions simply by altering the startup  
script to change to the appropriate directory. You can also use the - 
I flag to perl to indicate the correct directory.

         export RAD=/usr/local/src/Radiator/Radiator-3.13

         perl -I $RAD $RAD/radiusd .....

hope this helps

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
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?
