Hi guys, I just got to listing 4.7 on the tutorial. When I run the command `rails server -b $IP -p $PORT` and opens the correspoding sample_app on the web browser, I received the following error message on C9's console:

    Started GET "/" for 139.192.9.237 at 2015-01-12 13:47:46 +0000
    Processing by StaticPagesController#home as HTML
     Rendered static_pages/home.html.erb within layouts/application (3.5ms)
    Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 53ms

    EOFError (end of file reached):
     app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:5:in `_app_views_layouts_application_html_erb___1968168670209067927_48192600'

And the browser displays the following error in screenshot:


Reading the from the error message, I tried to find any typo in `~/workspace/sample_app/app/assets/views/layout/application.html.erb` but to no success. Here's what I have in that file:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
      <head>
        <title><%= full_title(yield(:title)) %></title>
        <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
        <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
        <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
      </head>
      <body>
        <%= yield %>
      </body>
    </html>

I also tried to find any typo in the following 2 files respectively based on the error message: `~/workspace/sample_app/app/controllers/static_pages_controller.rb`

    class StaticPagesController < ApplicationController
      def home
      end

      def help
      end
  
      def about
      end
  
    end

and `~/workspace/sample_app/app/views/static_pages/home.html.erb`

    <h1>Sample App</h1>
    <p>This is the homepage for the <a href="http://railstutorial.org"> Ruby on Rails Tutorial</a> Sample Application</p>

Can anyone give me a pointer where the "bug" is? Thanks in advance.

Cleaning up the temp files using the following command fixes this issue: `rake tmp:clear`
