when i try to push a gem to rubygems i get a message saying it's not allowed in gemspec when it is

Question

I'm trying to push a gem to rubygems.org and get this message:

ERROR:  "https://rubygems.org" is not allowed by the gemspec, which only allows "Set to 'http://mygemserver.com'"

that generic mygemserver entry is the default entry in that line of the gemspec, which I've changed to the rubygems URL to no avail.

Here is my gemspec:

# coding: utf-8



lib = File.expand_path('../lib', __FILE__)
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(lib) unless $LOAD_PATH.include?(lib)
# require 'seed_me_seymour/version'

Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.name          = "seed_me_seymour"
  spec.version       = SeedMeSeymour::VERSION
  spec.authors       = ["Tony S.", "Brandon G." ]
  spec.email         = ["[email protected]\n", "[email protected]\n"]

  spec.summary       = %q{This gem will analyze your current database and make a seed file with pre-populated seed information using faker}
  spec.homepage      = "https://github.com/antoniosaric/seed_me_seymour"

  # Prevent pushing this gem to   RubyGems.org. To allow pushes either set the 'allowed_push_host'
  # to allow pushing to a single host or delete this section to allow pushing to any host.
  if spec.respond_to?(:metadata)
    spec.metadata['allowed_push_host'] = "https://rubygems.org"
  else
    raise "RubyGems 2.0 or newer is required to protect against " \
      "public gem pushes."
  end

  spec.files         = `git ls-files -z`.split("\x0").reject do |f|
    f.match(%r{^(test|spec|features)/})
  end
  spec.bindir        = "exe"
  spec.executables   = spec.files.grep(%r{^exe/}) { |f| File.basename(f) }
  spec.require_paths = ["lib"]

  spec.add_development_dependency "bundler", "~> 1.14"
  spec.add_development_dependency "rake", "~> 10.0"
end

Here's the copy of this file in my repo:

https://github.com/antoniosaric/seed_me_seymour/blob/create/seed_me_seymour.gemspec

I'm at a total loss. Has anyone else run into this or know what's going on here? thanks

Updating this in case someone hits the same issue. Not really sure what the issue was, but I ended up starting over again.

I initially used these instructions to create my gem:
http://bundler.io/rubygems.html

I wiped my github repo out and started from scratch with these instructions:

http://guides.rubygems.org/make-your-own-gem/

I was able to push my gem up with no problem after this.
