2 months ago Hi Shaun. I hope that you find this information useful. On the freeradius website they have binary packages for a limited number of os : Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, CentOS and RHEL. The other option is to compile from source(just increases your work). To anser the question on other OS, well i haven't seen any and am sure it will only increase you work(reading a lot of documentations , new commands ). Here are some changes that I had to do to make daroradius work. I get that you are stuck at daloradius step (all previous installations and setup have no issue). Am working on parrot os so its just the same os as yours.
Terminal cd /var/www git clone https://github.com/lirantal/daloradius.git
mkdir -p /var/log/apache2/daloradius/{operators,users}
from here I advice that you use a file manager and text editor with root privileges ie caja and geany / puma. It will help in understanding the process to solve any error that you might face.
open the directory /etc/apache2/
open directory /etc/apache2/sites-available copy file(000-default.conf) and past it 2 times in the same directory. Rename the first to users.conf ,the other to operators.conf.
open the files and edit as shown
Let serverAdmin be as it is( apache might generate an error like it did for me) Don't place the reverse slash() generates a syntax error.
Next step is as documented in the wiki.
cd /var/www/daloradius/app/common/includes
cp daloradius.conf.php.sample daloradius.conf.php
chown www-data:www-data daloradius.conf.php
chmod 664 daloradius.conf.php
chown www-data:www-data /var/www/daloradius/contrib/scripts/dalo-crontab
cd /var/www/daloradius/
mkdir -p var/{log,backup}
chown -R www-data:www-data var
chmod -R 775 var
cd /var/www/daloradius/contrib/db mariadb -u raduser -p raddb < fr3-mariadb-freeradius.sql mariadb -u raduser -p raddb < mariadb-daloradius.sql
a2dissite 000-default.conf
a2ensite operators.conf users.conf
Now give apache the permission to access the site root directory.
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/daloradius
chmod -R 775 /var/www/daloradius
Most likely you will get an error when using system control to restart apache
systemctl restart apache2
use sudo service apache2 restart
I haven't commented much because its in line with that documentation from the wiki.
You can comment back if you still have an issue

Following the installation instructions does not work
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1 Download the package as explained and unzip it. 2 Copy the directory to /var/www/... 3 cd into that directory and look for the Library directory. It does not exists, which means that I cannot continue with the installation
Expected behavior That the Library directory would be available as explained in the installation document
Desktop (please complete the following information):
Is there any documentation that will allow me to install DaloRadius on a non-debian based OS?
Kind Regards.
Shaun
