Many Thanks @Yass.

I also want the answer to this

Can we host coovachilli on cloud machine and can be used to control hotspot by various vendors like hotel,cafetria etc..

can we install coovachilli on remote cloud machine and my vendors use this globally to control their hotspots?

I had some minor issues following the guide, regarding HostAPD and Freeradius, I'll post the issues and the solutions I applied to get it done.#Hostapd1)When compiling , you get the following error: Could  not find libraries for openssl :    yum install openssl-devel# Free Radius1)Current Version, use:    wget -c ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/freeradius/freeradius-server-3.0.17.tar.bz22)Couldn't link driver rlm_sql_mysql         yum install freeradius-mysql    3) /etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default[662]: Failed to find "sql_log" as a module or policy.In /etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default":        Comment :                sql_log         In /etc/raddb/mods-enabled/sql          Uncomment and edit:          logfile = ${radacctdir}/raddbsql.log  4) radtest not working.  Syntax needs the nas-port. e.g.:        radtest user pass 127.0.0.1 1645 secret_pass_phrase    I noticed that you can use *any port* and it does the validation, but it needs that parameter.
