I managed to install coova-chilli with freeradius and postgresql via apt-get and chilli's deb package in Ubuntu. And it works. For a couple of days, I'm struggling to install the same in CentOS 6.2. Here is what I have done:

Installed freeradius with postgresql under my directory (/path/to/my/freeradius). That works good. (Tested via radtest). Downloaded coova-chilli version 1.2.9, extracted it, and I have done the following from coova extracted directory:

./configure --prefix=/path/to/my/coova --with-openssl

make

make install

After I installed it, I tried to run it:

$ /path/to/my/coova/etc/init.d/chilli start

And I get the following:

coova-chilli[5600]: options.c: 180: could not generate configuration (/path/to/my/coova/var/run/chilli.5600.cfg.bin), sleeping one second.

So, can anybody help me on resolving my issue?

Thanks in advance!

N.B. I tried to put this question on coova-chilli forum, but I didn't get any answer. I also fallowed some posts on this topic, but without any result.

Finally solved!

On short here is what I have done:

  1. downloaded CoovaChilli 1.2.9 and extracted it.
  2. In the extracted directory, I have done: ./configure --prefix=/my/prefix --with-openssl && make && make install
  3. edited the /my/prefix/etc/init.d/chilli and instead of $(which start-stop-daemon) I put $(which start-stop-daemon 2>/dev/null) details here
  4. configured /my/prefix/etc/chilli/config how it needed more details here
  5. finally, after a long struggle, I followed another one's 'thought', and I got it working: I created the /my/path/var directory, where I put a symbolic link to /var/run, called also run details here

All the best!
