  The "correct spot" is following the documentation and examples.  Let's see...

  So you deleted / edited the default "localhost" client, and broke the server.

  In the clients.conf file.  As documented.

  OK, localhost...

  Is that IP localhost?  i.e. 127.0.0.1

  No, it's not.

  If you're doing to *add* client definitions, then add them.  Don't call them "localhost".  And don't edit the default "localhost" client, to give it the wrong IP address.
