Failed to start an edit-server

aankittcoolest opened this issue · comments

Cannot start the edit-server on mac.
Any idea/help on debugging it is appreciated.

Here is what I have in my .emacs file.

    (when (require 'edit-server nil t)
      (setq edit-server-new-frame nil)
      (edit-server-start))

How have you installed edit-server.el? Is it in your path? If so some basic debugging. Does it M-x list-processes show it running? If so try M-x edit-server-stop and C-u M-x edit-server-start and see if the log shows anything.

Yeah. I do have edit-server.el file in my path.
Here is what my messages buffer logs looks like.

Sadly I don't think emacs will give much more information but one thing to check is if there is already something listening on that port. I use "netstat -lptn" on linux.
