Can't get RADIUS Service to Start
I'm attempting these directions to install RADIUS Server and DALORadius on a running EC2 instance of Amazon Linux 2.
I can't seem to get the RADIUS Service to start, even though I'm literally on the last step of that tutorial. I am getting:
When I look at both of those it's not clear to me why the RADIUS Service won't start.
I've rebooted this instance and just can't seem to find a way to get the service to start. What is the best method to force this to start or to find out (via a log or something) what is happening.
In that link I posted, I found this exact description in the comment but the line referenced was already correct. Thanks for your help!
If anyone has better directions, please feel free to pass them along. I don't care much about the strain of Linux, rather just getting this setup. :-)

Perhaps post something from the logs in this forum, someone might recognize the issue.

Here is the actual error I'm getting. Unfortunately it's pretty vague but perhaps someone who is familiar with FreeRadius can assist:

Where are the Forums on here? Are they different than posting a question here?

I think you merely edit your original question to add more topics and then your question will appear in more sections and perhaps be seen by more experts.

Okay, thank you, @Azup

I am getting this exact same error when I reinstalled soup-to-nuts on Ubuntu 20.04.
These are the directions I used: https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-freeradius-and-daloradius-on-ubuntu/
Any further insight into why the FreeRadius Service won't start would be helpful. Thanks!
