Have been getting this error and been unable to crack it after 1–2 hours. Any ideas?

truffle(development)> truffle migrate
Using network ‘development’.

Running migration: 1_initial_migration.js
Deploying Migrations…
Error encountered, bailing. Network state unknown. Review successful transactions manually.
Error: exceeds block gas limit

=====

Here is the wallet I am using which has sufficient Ether.

My Eth testnet has also synced to the current block.

I have tried playing around with the gas amount for contract deployment by changing the 290000 number to various values.

I have seen others attempt to change truffle.js when they have faced this problem but that is not seeming to help in my case.

Would appreciate some assistance.
