no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer in view forms

I am working on configuring the apartment gem for my rails app to give users the functionality to create subdomains. I have a nested form and when attempting to access "accounts/new" I am getting the following error: 

no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer in view forms

accounts/new.html.erb

<div>
   </div>
    <h2>Create an Account</h2>

<%= form_for @account do |f| %>
    <%= f.fields_for :owner do |o| %>
      <%= form_for o, :email do %>
        <%= o.text_field :email, class: 'form-control' %>
      <% end %>
     <%= form_for o, :password do %>
        <%= o.password_field :password, class: 'form-control' %>
      <% end %>
     <%= form_for o, :password_confirmation do %>
        <%= o.password_field :password_confirmation, class: 'form-control' %>
     <% end %>
   <% end %>

    <%= form_for f, :subdomain do %>
      <div class="input-group">
      <%= f.text_field :subdomain, class: 'form-control' %>
        <span class="input-group-addon">.scrumteam.com</span>
      </div>
      <% end %>
     <%= f.submit class: 'btn btn-primary' %>
    <% end %>
  </div>
</div>

accounts_controller.rb

private 
      def account_params
        params.require(:account).permit(:subdomain, :owner_attributes => [:email, :password, :password_confirmation])
      end

You are nesting multiple forms into each other which is not supported in HTML:
See this question for more details: Can you nest html forms?

These form_for lines look invalid in particular:

<%= form_for o, :field_name do %>

Here, o is a special FormBuilder object which should not be fed to form_for. Try this instead:

<%= f.fields_for :owner do |o| %>
  <%= o.fields_for :email do %>

Unlike form_for, it is possible to nest fields_for blocks.

Not sure if this is your route problem, but form_for creates an actual form tag in html. You only need (and should have) 1, the fields_for allows you to switch the form helpers to a different object, but you don't need to call form_for again within it. If you're just trying to group your form fields, you can just add some divs and/or labels.
