TUTORIAL : Setting up Easy Hotspot Captive Portal with FreeRadius and Coova Chilli

The following is the reference software that I used. The main issue would be with FreeRadius.
There is a dramatic difference between version 1.X and 2.X in the way that FreeRadius organises
configuation files.
You need ChilliSpot 1.0 to get the ChilliSpot-Max-Total_Octets checks.
/usr/sbin/freeradius -v FreeRADIUS v2.1.0
/usr/sbin/chilli –version Chillispot 1.0
/usr/sbin/apache2 -v Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu)
/usr/sbin/mysqld –version Ver 5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2
php –version PHP 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.2 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2
(cli) and Zend Engine v2.2.0.
Easyhotspot 0.2 preview
My reference OS details Ubuntu Server 9.04 running kernel 2.6.28-15-server


This document version is 0.1 and is intended for Easyhotspot version 0.2 though it should be fine
for other versions.
