Running documentation doesn't work as described in Readme

Bootstrap 3.0.0:
The most recent Readme says:

1. If necessary, install Jekyll.
2. From the /bootstrap directory, run jekyll serve in the command line.
3. Open http://getbootstrap.dev:9001 in your browser, and voilà.

This doesn't work. An error message saying that the server couldn't be found will be displayed in the browser when you try to access http://getbootstrap.dev:9001. What's the right command to see the docs on a local server?

[cvrebert]

Yeah, I remember running into this recently. IIRC, try http://localhost:9001 instead.

Didn't work neither. I got it working by runnning jekyll serve --server in the command line and accessing it via http://localhost:4000

But I don't think that's the intended behaviour...

Perhaps you're on an old version of Jekyll? --server is a deprecated command for Jekyll. See the docs at http://jekyllrb.com/docs/. You should only need to run jekyll serve or jekyll build.

After updating Jekyll to 1.0.3 it works using jekyll serve and accessing the docs locally on localhost:9001 .
There is already a pull request #8182 that fixes the link in the readme. But actually that means that there is an issue with the jekyll _config.yml configuration not taking into account the url variable. I couldn't figure out why...

Looks like this has been resolved in v3 now—no more custom URL, but there is still a custom port.
