Error on launching a local version of a website - jekyll

Question

I tried to install Jekyll On Windows 7. I followed this guide http://www.testically.org/2012/02/02/installing-jekyll-and-ruby-on-windows/
So I first downloaded Ruby and added \;C:\Ruby193\bin to the path variable.
I then downloaded DevKit and added \;C:\Users\jimmy\Downloads\teeheeband\bin\ to the path variable as well.
I then opened my command and did the following (in order)
cd ;C:\Users\jimmy\Downloads\teeheeband
ruby dk.rb init
ruby dk.rb install
the following are the codes that appeared on my screen when I did the above steps.

Once I did the above, I downloaded github and cloned the repo that I wanted to work on. I then went to Gitshell and did the following

Finally I opened a browser and tried to run a local copy of the website via : localhost:4000
I failed and got this message
Forbidden

WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.9.3/2013-01-15) at 127.0.0.1:4000
so I used h**p://127.0.0.1:4000/( replace t with **)
failed again

All I want is to be able to open and run a local version of this website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Check if your port 4000 is not used by something else, or if you have a firewall enable access to it.
I'd highly disrecomend Windows for jekyll (or any ruby gem/app), installing and using it in Linux would be much easier.
