Hi

I guess there is some routing issue there…or u might be giving some  
hardcoded path which is why the url is displaying like this.

or there is something like and after that u r clicking some  
path which is y ur taken to that url.

 

Also check that by default ur not getting localhost:3000/#

 

Make sure there is no change in routes.rb file and path is not  
hardcoded…
