Troubleshooting
"no acceptor (port is in use or requires root privileges)"
Sometimes you may get the following when starting serve: Error: no acceptor (port is in use or requires root privileges). This means that jekyll process is already running, using the port. Kill it with:
ps aux | grep jekyll | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
“The GitHub API credentials you provided aren’t valid.”
When trying to run jekyll serve you may see this error.
This can be due to having 2-factor authentication set up on github, or the credentials not stored otherwise. The easiest fix for this is to generate a unique Personal Access token through github’s website, and store that in the JEKYLL_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.
