Starting gnus 5.13 on emacs 23.1.1 I get the message:

  Unable to open server nntp+localhost, go offline? (y or n)

However I have no problem running gnus 5.11 on emacs 22.3.1.
I have no idea how to debug this.

Any help?


Ciao
Andreas

What happens if you say "n"?

nntp (localhost) open error: ''.  Continue? (y or n)

If I continue with 'y' I get the group buffer but I cannot
enter any newsgroup. Error message: "Couldn't open server"

Gnus isn't able to contact the nntp server on localhost.  Are you
running an nntp server on localhost?

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "localhost"))

200 Leafnode NNTP Daemon, version 1.11.5 running at localhost (my fqdn: fawkes.hogwarts)


Note that gnus 5.11 is running flawlessly with the same `.gnus'
on this machine.

Try edebugging through `nntp-open-connection' or the other connection
functions and see what happens.
