And I hope that succeeded in opening the file (but not as a server).
Just close that again.

I hope you got a startup screen. On my system, that displays:

~                    VIM - Vi IMproved

What PDF? Please show the actual commands you used.

You need to start the server *before* you try to connect to it with a client:

$ vim --servername foo

and then, at a different location, type:

$ vim --servername foo --remote test.ly

and that should open test.ly in the server (at the original location).

Cheers,
David.
