at /etc/apache2/sites-available/ create the file tracks.conf
you can make a copy from 000-default.conf
+Note:
+The default/standard port for http is 80. As I already have a web site running on port 80 the next common choice is to use port 8080 where in my case is running a VNC then finally I selected the port 8079
+If you go for the standard port 80 you need to use 80 where I refer to 8079 and you need to remove the symbolic link "000-default.conf" in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to have only your Tracks web "enabled" and running for port 80.
IMPORTANT
-The default/standard port for http is 80.
-As I already have a web site already running I select the port 8079
-(the port 8080 is another usual choice, that in my case is also already in use for VNC)
-NOTE: if you go for the standard port 80, you need to remove the symbolic link "000-default.conf" in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to have only your Tracks web "enabled" and running for Port 80 (also you need to use 80 where I refer to 8079)

(the use of libapache2-mod-passenger makes Passenger in Apache to auto-detect the rails app)
+Just for information the use of libapache2-mod-passenger makes Passenger in Apache to auto-detect the rails app
edit your website configuration file
->nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/tracks.conf+
+>nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/tracks.conf +
------------
- <VirtualHost *:8079>+<VirtualHost *:8079>
+ ServerName tracks.local
+ DocumentRoot /var/www/tracks/public
+ AcceptPathInfo on
+ ErrorDocument 403 "<h1>Site update in progress. Check back in a few minutes.</h1>"
+
+ <Directory /var/www/tracks/public>
+ Require all granted
+ AllowOverride All
+ </Directory>
+
+ ## Logging
+ ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/tracks_error.log"
+ ServerSignature Off
+ CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/tracks_access.log" combined
+</VirtualHost> +
------------
now edit the file /etc/apache2/ports.conf and add the Listen for port 8079
->nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf+
+>nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf +
------------
-Listen 80
Listen 8079
<ifmodule ssl_module="">
Listen 443
</ifmodule>
<ifmodule mod_gnutls.c="">
Listen 443
</ifmodule> create link
+Listen 80
+Listen 8079
+
+<ifmodule ssl_module="">
+ Listen 443
+</ifmodule>
+
+<ifmodule mod_gnutls.c="">
+ Listen 443
+</ifmodule> create link +
------------
finally create a symbolic link so Apache services it
->cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled+
>ln -s ../sites-available/tracks.conf ./
+>cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
+>ln -s ../sites-available/tracks.conf ./ +
restart Apache
->systemctl restart apache2+
+>systemctl restart apache2 +
