You need to always call emacsclient, not emacs. As server you can either have a running Emacs which has started a server (manually or via invocation on the command line) or an Emacs that has been started headless in daemon mode. A little used (but very nice) feature of emacsclient is the alternate editor argument: if you set that to the empty string, it will start an Emacs in daemon mode if it didn't find an already running server and then connect to it.
