Just installed the latest versions of the client (5.11.2) and the Ubuntu apt version of the server (10.7.9)
The server is running as http://localhost:8065 and going there with a browser allowed me to create a user and log in.
When running the client I get asked for the server URL where I specify http://localhost:8065 and a name but the client complains that it is unable to connect.
The console log of the client shows these messages:
(node:2041689) electron: Failed to load URL: http://localhost/ with error: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

In the client GUI the following error messages are shown:
We're having trouble connecting to this Mattermost server. We'll keep trying to establish a connection.
If refreshing this page (Ctrl+R or Command+R) doesn't help, please check the following:
Ensure your computer is connected to the internet.
Verify that the URL http://localhost/ is correct.
Try opening http://localhost/ in a browser window.
This is weird, why would the client not work just as fine as access with the browser?
Also, why does the client often show http://localhost/ and leave out the port number?
