Public bug reported: Run "freeciv-gtk2 -l freeciv.log", and pressed "Start New Game". The GUI displayed the following messages:
Starting local server... Couldn't connect to the server. We probably couldn't start it from here. You'll have to start one manually. Sorry... The log file contained the following: This is the server for Freeciv version 2.4.2 You can learn a lot about Freeciv at http://www.freeciv.org/ 3: in log_init() [log.c::231]: log started 0: in server_open_socket() [sernet.c::1146]: bind failed: Address already in use 0: bind failed: Address already in use If I run freeciv-server manually, I can "connect to network game" and from then on it works.
