Is the server already running?
If not, one good technique is to run emacsclient -a "" or have
ALTERNATE_EDITOR="" in your environment. Either way, this will cause
emacsclient to start an emacs --daemon in the background and then
connect to it, rather than just exiting with an error that it can't find
the server.
I am not sure why ~/tmp/server is the default server file for you.
Perhaps it has to do with the prefix you used when configuring?
