When u run URL on my WAMP it shows blank page. It's not calling layout file from controller.

Best Answer

Add layout column layout="1column"

<?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="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="custom_module_post_form"
                   template="Custom_Module::index.phtml" />
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>
