AW: (RADIATOR) Radiator crashes without trace

[Martin Wallner]

Thanks,  Dave, Hugh.... 
 
I'm going to wrap it :-) up and see what shakes loose... The thing is, I have already found one missing module (got a sick MSCHAP request with MD4.... booooiiiinnng.... also a way to find that MD4-Module is missing), and thought I'm over with this problem, but we'll see what happens with the wrapper...
 
I'll keep you posted...
 
regards

Hello Martin -

The usual cause for this sort of thing is one or more missing Perl 
modules.

The simplest way to find out what is happening - Ie. the Perl error 
messages when the crash occurs is to use the restartWrapper utility 
included in the Radiator distribution in the goodies directory. 
Otherwise you can run radiusd from the command line like this:

     cd /your/Radiator/distribution

     perl radiusd -foreground -log_stdout -trace 4 -config_file /your/
config/file

This way you will see the Perl error messages when the crash occurs.

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?
