keep periodically getting `/' not found.

Not Found

`/' not found.

Any pointers would be appreciated

Thanks

Your main index.html file isn't being generated properly so it's wigging out. Make sure _site/index.html is generated and it will begin serving / again. :)

Wish it were that easy. Site builds fine. This happened once before wish I
could remember how I resolved it

Would it be easier to just create a new Jekyll site, test, and copy
everything over to the new.

Is is safe to delete _site and rebuild? Can't find this in the docs

Thanks

Marc

It's totally safe to delete _site and rebuild. So set it on 🔥 and go!

Just as an update on my issue. I isolated the problem to site.baseurl and
_config.yml. Removing {{ site.baseurl }} got the pages to build properly.

Then after using rvm to move up to ruby 1.9.3 and updating gems and
reinstalling compass to deal with complaints over required extensions
within config.rb everything seems back to normal, all pages build and
site,baseurl produces the expected output. Happiness.

I had a similar issue - using the setting --baseurl "" did the trick for me

[cirosantilli]

Baseurl is was the culprit for me.

I had baseurl: /db/ for GitHub Pages subdir, and quite logically locally only:

localhost:4000/db/

works, while the following fail:

localhost:4000/
localhost:4000/db

We should print the URL to STDOUT. That's the solution.

[cirosantilli]

That'd be a smart move to prevent people like me from shooting their own feet =)

👍 Removing {{ site.baseurl }}

[parkr]

baseurl is now being printed with the server URL:

jekyll/lib/jekyll/commands/serve.rb

Lines 106 to 115 in 72bb9b3

	def server_address(server, options)
	baseurl = "#{options['baseurl']}/" if options['baseurl']
	[
	"http://",
	server.config[:BindAddress],
	":",
	server.config[:Port],
	baseurl || ""
	].map(&:to_s).join("")
	end

This messes with the Quick-start, running jekyll serve returns

Server address: http://0.0.0.0:4000http://yourdomain.com/

if you haven not changed the baseurl.

This doesn't work as a url and will just cause a search. I changed the base URL to an empty string after finding this thread and will continue trying out jekyll.

Can you post a link to your site?

[troyswanson]

Ref #2317

[w0lfe]

I'm just trying Jekyll out locally trying to decide what static site gen to switch to, so nothing to link to. I'm having the exact same issue as #2317 though.

[parkr]

Does this help? http://blog.parkermoore.de/2014/04/27/clearing-up-confusion-around-baseurl/

[w0lfe]

Yep, (I was just reading the link from the other issue) clears up some other details I was wondering about too. Thanks. I think the confusing thing is that the default baseurl on install is a full url.

谢谢！
