<p>Configuring the server can be a complex task. This task is made easier in recent versions, as we gradually improve the documentation and "default" configurations.</p>
<p>The server comes with documentation. The <a href="https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/tree/v3.0.x/doc/">doc</a> directory contains a number of files, named for their functionality. The configuration files themselves contain enormous amounts of documentation and the <a href="https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/tree/v3.0.x/raddb/sites-available/">raddb/sites-available</a> directory contains many example "virtual servers". Each example has comments describing what it does, when it should be used, and how to configure it.</p>
<p>If you are using version 1 or 2 of the server, we suggest upgrading to version 3. Versions 1 and 2 are both end-of-life and no longer supported.</p>

<p><span class="emphasis text-dark">Many people try to find documentation by Googling keywords, but this method is not generally productive.</span> Most of the links are to other people asking the same question, or to out-dated third party documentation. It is easy to get lost in a mess of contradictory and confusing documentation, leading to frustration and a badly configured server.</p>
<p><span class="emphasis text-dark">Most third-party documentation and How-To's are wrong and outdated.</span> We strongly suggest that you do not follow any documentation which is more than 4 years old. If you do follow such ancient documentation, the result will likely be a server that does not work.</p>

<h5>Quick Start guide</h5>
<p>New users of the server should read <a href="/doc/getting_started.html">Getting Started</a>. It describes how to set up a test user and how to add a new client. These are the two basic steps that start all new installations.</p>

<p>The Wiki has a fair amount of documentation and How-To's. It is a good starting resource. The Wiki is searchable: type in a few keywords, and you will get pages of documentation that often answer your questions and can help you solve problems.</p>
<h5>Contributing to the documentation</h5>
<p>You can help! Just edit the wiki. It takes less than five minutes, and it will help thousands of other people.</p>
