Location of freeradius log file

[Deepak]

Hi,

I have following installed.

===============
OS: CentOS 5.3
freeradius 2.1.6 (rpm version)
daloradius 0.9-8
mysql 5.0.45
===============

When I try to check the radius log file from daloradius interface, it
give me following error:
========
error reading log file:

looked for log file in /var/log/freeradius/radius.log and
/usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log but couldn't find it.
if you know where your freeradius log file is located, set it's
location in /zradius/rep-logs-radius.php
========
I tried to look for this file but couldn't locate it. There is no
"freeradius" directory in "/var/log"

Where do freeradius keep the log file?

Thanks

on most of my systems its in /var/log/radius/

check where your package management put it - or if
you run eg slocate then you can do 'locate radius.log'

If you do not find, check your radiusd.conf

The property is named "log_file"

The default log location as defined by the configure.in script is
logdir='${localstatedir}/log/radius'

On most systems localstatedir is /var thus the default log location is
/var/log/radius.

On rpm based systems this can be deduced by looking at the file list
belonging to an rpm, for example:

$ rpm -ql freeradius | grep log
/etc/logrotate.d/radiusd
/etc/raddb/modules/detail.log
/etc/raddb/modules/linelog
/etc/raddb/modules/logintime
/etc/raddb/modules/sql_log
/etc/raddb/modules/sqlcounter_expire_on_login
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_acctlog-2.1.6.so
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_acctlog.so
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_linelog-2.1.6.so
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_linelog.so
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_logintime-2.1.6.so
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_logintime.so
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_sql_log-2.1.6.so
/usr/lib/freeradius/rlm_sql_log.so
/usr/share/man/man5/rlm_sql_log.5.gz
/var/log/radius
/var/log/radius/radacct
/var/log/radius/radius.log
/var/log/radius/radutmp

here you can see the log directory is /var/log/radius. But there is
another hint, the freeradius package included a logrotate file in
/etc/logrotate.d/radiusd. logrotate is responsible for rotating log
files and the /etc/logrotate.d/radiusd is the configuration file
specific to the radiusd service. Looking at that config file will show
you the path of every radius log file.
