Unable to view the statuses

I am following along the tutorials and did the following command

rails generate scaffold status name:string content:text
rake db:migrate

I was able to figure it out. What you want to do is go to the app > controllers folder. Then, navigate to the new controller that was created in the video, which is the statuses controller. Before all of the code that was generated, type the following: layout false Save, run server, then give it a try. Worked for me.
