[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

server-start fails to start, with the message:

apply: Cannot bind server socket: No such file or directory

To reproduce:

1. Kill any existing emacs-server
2. Rename or delete $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/emacs
3. Execute server-start


The problem is that the directory specified in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR existed, but
with no emacs subdirectory. I do believe that emacs ought simply create the
directory

It already does, so I cannot reproduce the problem you see.

In which version of Emacs did you see this?  Your report doesn't
include the details of your build.

More information was requested, but none was given within 12 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reply to this
