tmux insists that no server is running when it is

[Sean Hammond]

Hi, I'm getting this problem:

1. Run `tmux` in one console window

2. Open up another console window and run `tmux ls` or `tmux attach` etc

3. `tmux ls` etc all report: "no server running on /tmp/tmux-48659/default"

4. But I can see that tmux is still running (connected and working) in the other console

I tried using the -S argument to force the socket location in both the original `tmux` command and the subsequent `tmux ls` or `tmux attach` commands but it didn't help. I can see that the socket file does exist but it still says "no server running".

I'm connected over SSH in case that's important

Did something delete your socket and replace with a new one? Try "pkill -USR1 tmux".

I had tried that but it didn't work.

It's working again now after various tmux restarts and messing around, unfortunately I don't know what if anything I did to fix it.

Thanks!
