Liquid Exception - Jekyll serve

I was trying to build a static site using poole and jekyll on my windows 10 system. When I run the command jekyll serve I get the following error:

 Liquid Exception: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed in some_path/_posts/2016-01-02-example-content.md
jekyll 3.5.0 | Error:  SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: tlsv1 alert access denied

I have tried using the cacert.pem fix , it didn't work. Can you suggest any other alternatives or things I may have overlooked..?

This is due to an SSL certificate authentication error.

Try downloading the GlobalSignRootCA.pem file and placing it in the following path:

<Ruby installation directory>/lib/ruby/<version>/rubygems/ssl_certs

However, please note that using Jekyll on Windows is not officially supported by the Jekyll team. Therefore, you may continue to face errors on doing a jekyll serve on your system.

A workaround to this problem is to downgrade your Ruby to version 2.0.0 and Jekyll to version 2.4.0 (tested) and then use the GlobalSignRootCA.pem certificate fix as mentioned above to build your sites.

This is pretty well-covered in this blog.

Do remember that this is does not guarantee 100% error-free builds in the future since downgrading will kill support for a lot of frequently used gems.

Hope this helps!
