Unable to start FreeRADIUS service

[scottastic86]

Been unable to start the service at all. The only errors I get are:
debugger not attached
/usr/local/etr/raddb/mods-enabled/files[9]
failed reading /usr/local/etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize

Everything is configured and the Captive Portal is built out how it should but every time I try to start the service it just keeps giving the red X. I tried manually starting it with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/radiusd onestart and it just hangs at "starting radiusd". I am unable to run radsniff -x or freeradius -X. All authentication tests fail and when attempting to access via the Captive Portal, I get a "Cannot connect to the authentication server" error. I deleted and rebuilt the Captive Portal and even uninstalled and reinstalled the FreeRADIUS package. No change in service status.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You've showed why and where there error occurred ....
We, here on the forum, can acces that file, but the pfSense admin = you, you can ?!

Have a look at this file : /usr/local/etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize

When you see the file, you'll think : where did I see this before ?

It's the info you entered here :

Start by checking all the entries : remove accented chars, all ' " `` etc. Just plain ASCI text.

To test radiusd in debug mode :
On the command line :

radiusd -X

and you'll see where it fails. But you already know where.
Ctrl-C to abort.

The portal isn't radius related. Your issue is 'radius', not the portal.

But you kept your freeradius settings with an error in place ^^
