Ubuntu 20.04 Asterisk 16 can’t open /etc/radiusclient-ng/radiusclient.conf error

So today I was building asterisk 16 from source ending up with the error on ubuntu 20.04:

“radcli: rc_read_config: rc_read_config: can’t open /etc/radiusclient-ng/radiusclient.conf: No such file or directory”

And did manage to solve it by adding the correct paths in the /etc/asterisk/cdr.conf and the /etc/asterisk/cel.conf for the radius client lib config file.

  • nano /etc/asterisk/cdr.conf

Add the following line at the end of the [radius] section

  • radiuscfg => /etc/radcli/radiusclient.conf

asterisk 16 ubuntu 20.04 radius client error

This also needs to be done for the file /etc/asterisk/cel.conf

  • nano /etc/asterisk/cel.conf

Add the following line at the end of the [radius] section

  • radiuscfg => /etc/radcli/radiusclient.conf

  1. Hi cadwyc. Please check if [radius] section in file /etc/asterisk/cdr.conf is commented. You should uncomment it.
