Page shows code rather than the result of running the code

In localhost:3000/forum/new it shows my code instead of what it is supposed to be.

It shows this:

  New Forum

  link_to "Back", root_path

This is the code I have for this page:

 <h1>New Forum</h1>

 link_to "Back", root_path

It basically shows all my code. Any idea how to fix this problem?

The .erb file process the embedded ruby in it to generate the corresponding html and syntax for it is <%= embedded ruby %>. If you only want to process the ruby code but have nothing to print use <% embedded ruby %>, note the eliminated = sign.

I think you are trying to do this:

  <h1>New Forum</h1>

  <%= link_to "Back", root_path %>

You forgot the <%= and %> for your code.
