ActionView::MissingTemplate: Missing template home/index - Google Crawler

Question

I'm experiencing this error when I launch Google Crawler on the site:

Error message:

ActionView::MissingTemplate: Missing template home/index, application/index with {:locale=>[:fr], :formats=>["image/*"], :handlers=>[:erb, :builder, :haml]}. Searched in: * "/home/custodir/apps/default/releases/32/app/views" * "/home/custodir/apps/default/shared/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/ckeditor-4.0.10/app/views" * "/home/custodir/apps/default/shared/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/rails_admin-0.4.9/app/views" * "/home/custodir/apps/default/shared/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/kaminari-0.15.1/app/views" * "/home/custodir/apps/default/shared/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/devise-2.1.4/app/views"

Research on SO:

I took note of these 3 related problems: ActionView::MissingTemplate -> I'm not using HAML

ActionView::MissingTemplate: Missing template -> Not related

Googlebot receiving missing template error for an existing template -> Tried the gem "rails_fix_google_bot_accept" no difference.

Found the answers:

Bots are triggering page www.example.com/status=500 which was a page that triggered my HTTP 500 errors.

I found a better way of implementing my error pages now and this resolved my problem:
