The working `server' directory:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 Administrator None 84 05-26 03:11 server
The problematic `server' directory:
drwxrwxrwx 1 Administrators None 0 05-26 01:49 server
So the problem is that the faulty .emacs.d/server directory was not
owned by Administrator (the current user) but by Administrators (a group
of users).
Now checked again: exit emacs and deleted .emacs.d. Then started emacs
and .emacs.d/server was created succesfully as owned by Administrator
(.emacs.d is owned by Administrator too).
So the problem was that at some point .emacs.d/server was created as
owned by Administrators. The directory is almost 3 years old, so maybe
the problem was the bug Eli mentioned as fixed time ago.
On a previous message I mentioned that server-start complained about the
inexistence of .emacs.d/server. This was my fault. The `server'
directory is created by server-ensure-safe-dir and the call to it was
commented out for avoiding the error it throwed when the user-uid and
the file uid didn't match.
Thanks for your help and patience.
