Aquamacs 3.5 daemon doesn't start on macOS Mojave

[safiyat]

Hi

I installed Aquamacs 3.5 (nightly release) by downloading the zipped tarball from aquamacs.org and copying the app inside to /Applications/Aquamacs.app

I tried starting the Aquamacs server, but it fails to start. I tried starting the server without loading my init file, but that failed too.

Startup logs:

$ /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs --daemon

... done.

Another instance of Emacs is running the server, either as daemon or interactively.
You can use emacsclient to connect to that Emacs process.

I tried running the emacs binary, and that failed as well.

Both complain that another instance of the server is already running, but I have already checked, double-checked that there is no emacs process running, no unix-socket listening, and no TCP socket as well.

Any help towards running the emacs server?

I think the server is started automatically by Aquamacs. It should work without —daemon.
