If you want use a different alias (in the apache configuration) than /roradius, you must edit the following directive :

# Example:
#   Alias /myrailsapp /path/to/myrailsapp/public
#   RewriteBase /myrailsapp

RewriteBase /roradius

Note: A version 5 is actually required.

# mysql -u root -p mysql
msyql> INSERT INTO user (user, host, password) VALUES ('freeradius', '127.0.0.1', PASSWORD('xxxx'));
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> CREATE DATABASE freeradius;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES TO freeradius.* ON freeradius@'127.0.0.1';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit
# mysql -u freeradius -p < db/mysql.sql
