Jekyll 3.0 beta on Window 7 - Permission Denied

I had a 2.4 version of Jekyll running on my win7 machine to play with. It was few months back. Well, now I've upgraded to 3.0 beta. I've done a "jekyll build" When I run "jekyll serve" i'm getting the following error:

Configuration file: none
  Source: C:/Projects/Prototypes/Jekyll-Test-Site/_plugins
  Destination: C:/Projects/Prototypes/Jekyll-Test-Site/_plugins/_site
Incremental build: enabled
  Generating...
    done.
Please add the following to your Gemfile to avoid polling for changes:
  gem 'wdm', '>= 0.1.0' if Gem.win_platform?
Auto-regeneration: enabled for 'C:/Projects/Prototypes/Jekyll-Test-Site/_plugins'
Configuration file: none
jekyll 3.0.0-beta1 | Error:  Permission denied - bind(2) for 127.0.0.1:4000

I'm guessing I'm missing something small, but I can't find it.

Perhaps your socket localhost:4000 is occupied. You can use netstat -a to check it. If so, change another socket that is not occupied in the socket list. Good luck.

First, because the version of wdm is low, you should update the wdm by using: gem install wdm then, because the port 4000 is occupied by other application, you should add a line port:4001 (any other port that has not been occupied) to the document _config.yml

Using: jekyll serve --trace

I found that it appeared that Ruby was properly trying to spin up a socket, only to get an permission problem when trying to bind to the socket. Jekyll defaults to port 4000. I used a socket on localhost that I've use for another application (that wasn't running) and it spun up just fine. Make sure to pick a port that isn't being used. To find out what ports are being used run: netstat -an
