Xml Element reference is not allowed here

Question

I am new to Magento & I am using Magento version 2.1.7 in my Windows 8.1 system with Xampp while creating a new module I am getting an error in my XML file located in the app/code/vendor/module/view/frontend/layout

with below error message

Element referenceContainer is not allowed here for the reference Container

cannot resolve symbol 'content'

for the reference Container name

My Code is as follows

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=
        "urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
                <block class="Funky\Hello\Block\Main"
                       template="blockContent.phtml"
                       name="funky_hello_HelloWorld"/>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

Please can some one tell me that what is the exact problem?

Well thats the separate error , But the reference content error will be solved by my below answer , also check in your template are you doing echo there ? Also have you clear the cache ? You need to put all files code like your .phtml file and your block as well — Manthan Dave, Jul 21 '17 at 12:44
I have already checked my .phtml file I am echoing in my file. & by using your code it is now showing the below error can not resolve file page_configuration.xsd I am using phpstrom as an IDE my cache is disabled & than also I have cleared the cache by cmd — Abhishek Tripathi, Jul 21 '17 at 12:48

If you want to call your template with in module, you need to specify you module name Vendor_Module

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=
        "urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
                <block class="Funky\Hello\Block\Main"
                       template="Vendor_Module::blockContent.phtml"
                       name="funky_hello_HelloWorld"/>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

Then, clear the cache and check it.

check your controller works fine.. go you you controller execute(), then command your return statement and write , echo "Testing" clear cache. Check it Now print your echo statement. – Rajkumar .E Jul 21 '17 at 12:53

Try below code :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd" layout="1column">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block class="Funky\Hello\Block\Main" name="funky_hello_HelloWorld" template="blockContent.phtml" />
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

Also As per the coding standard it would be good to Remove extra space from xml tag and page tag.

Clear the cache and check
