Ruby: Devise - when I hit the sign up button it leads me back to the localhost page

I am new to this, the only "sign up" I see is

<h2>Sign up</h2>

<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %> <%= devise_error_messages! %>

<div><%= f.label :first_name %><br /> <%= f.text_field :first_name %></div>

<div><%= f.label :last_name %><br /> <%= f.text_field :last_name %></div>

<div><%= f.label :profile_name %><br /> <%= f.text_field :profile_name %></div>

<div><%= f.label :email %><br /> <%= f.email_field :email, :autofocus => true %></div>

<div><%= f.label :password %><br /> <%= f.password_field :password %></div>

<div><%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br /> <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %></div>

<div><%= f.submit "Sign up" %></div> <% end %>

<%= render "devise/shared/links" %>

But I don't know how to fix this, can someone please assist? Thank you. I want to be able to continue, but I want to make sure this is solved.

by default, devise will return you to whatever you set the root route as. I cant remember what part of it it is covered in but your instructed to set the root like this.

root to: 'statuses#index'

That means when someone access the root of your site (e.g. '/' or 'localhost') they get redirected to the index action on the statuses controller. Try changing this value and see where you get redirected to then.
