Run freeradius manually in debugging mode to find out why it didn't start /usr/sbin/freeradius -X.

Depending on the version edit the port configuration item in the listen {} section in raddb/radiusd.conf or raddb/freeradius.conf or for version 3, do the same but in raddb/sites-available/defatult. Note: Those bind warnings usually mean a version of the server has already started check with ps aux.
