"what server?" should do :-)

Ok, that was easy.

First, "Apache" is the name of an organization; "Apache httpd" is a
web server (which many people erroneously refer to as "Apache").

Lordy, you're even more of a pedant than I am.  :-)
 
Did you install and configure this yourself, or was it provided by
someone else?
 
 I installed the system myself.  It was about as much fun as going to the dentist while having a stomach flu.

Just for giggles I'll describe my system:
Windows 7 host
VMware Workstation
Ubuntu 16.04 client

I don't have a clue how I would have gotten as far as I have without VMWare.

Can you describe exactly how you're starting "Apache"?
 
Sure. I start Apache httpd with the following script:
#!/bin/bash

export RALPH_SUPPRESS_HTTPS=
sudo apache2ctl start

When I run webrick my script is
#!/bin/bash

export RALPH_SUPPRESS_HTTPS=true
sudo apache2ctl stop
rails s

So I use the environment variable RALPH_SUPPRESS_HTTPS as a proxy for whether I'm using webrick or Apache httpd

And, again, Hassan, thank you
