Bug#572990: freeciv: Client can't connect to its own server (Can't Start local game)
Ulrik Sverdrup
Version: 2.2.0-1
Severity: normal
Using the gtk client, no way of starting a local game (using a local
"private" server started by the client) works. The client reports either
'Connection refused' or just waits.
For some reason, the instance of freeciv-server that the client starts,
does not allow connection.
The workaround is to start freeciv-server manually. It does not work
with default settings, I have to start with:
freeciv-server -b localhost -p 5556
the port argument is not the important part, it was explicitly setting
'localhost' that made it possible to connect to the server.
hostname is 'ulrik-ibook'.
$ cat /etc/hostname
ulrik-ibook
$ host ulrik-ibook
Host ulrik-ibook not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Apart from this, freeciv 2.2 seems really solid, great game.

If you change your network configuration so your hostname is valid,
does the game start correctly?

Hi, thanks for following up the bug report!
I don't know what a valid hostname is and what is not a valid
hostname, but I tried to edit my /etc/hosts back and forth without any
result. I did not try changing my hostname (I think most normal
hostnames do in fact *not* resolve on desktop computer).
I reported the bug upstream too myself (notoriously impatient as I
am), but I initially reported it to debian since I suspected it was
either related to bad configuration of my debian system, or a
debian-specific problem.
Anyway, here is the response from upstream bug http://gna.org/bugs/?15559 ::

You are probably another victim of a recent change in Debian squeeze
which sets net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1 in
/etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf
See e.g. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560044
As a result the server listens on ::1 (IPv6 only), and the client
fails to connect to localhost (IPv4).
But eventually freeciv should change the way it opens the listening
socket(s) so that it works in both configurations.

No problem (hopefully the tags at the top make con...@b.d.o happy).

I see from http://gna.org/bugs/?15559#comment2 that this is confirmed.

'eventually' doesn't sound like it'll be ready for squeeze :(
