jekyll serve issues

[lwasser]

HI there - i'm having what is likely some newbie issues... when trying to run jekyll serve i get several errors. The result is a white screen when i type in localhost:4000. Any guidance to get this to work is greatly appreciated. The file mentos.py is in the directory "pygments".
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Looks like your _config.yml might be the culprit. Looking at what you posted above the server address is http://0.0.0.0:4000http://lwasser.github.io/minimal-mistakes which is obviously wrong.

When working locally dump what you currently have there and try this instead:

url: http://localhost:4000
baseurl:

From what I can tell you don't need to set anything for baseurl. You're essentially setting the same url twice which is breaking everything.

And the other errors are related to the Pygments gem. It can be a bitch getting everything running properly on a Windows machine. Newer versions of Pygments don't play nice. Same deal with Ruby. You'd be better off searching around StackOverflow because these issues are quite common.

Thank you so much! I missed the comment about turning off baseurl in the config. I just turned off pygments for the time being and will search stack overflow for more on it. All good. I am up and running now. I really appreciate the help!

This is a pretty good guide for installing Jekyll on Windows and it has some tips on getting Pygments working. http://jekyll-windows.juthilo.com/3-syntax-highlighting/
