Can anyone provide assistance with upgrading the version of Tracks from 2.2 to 2.2.2?

I have attempted this upgrade multiple times without success.

Per the official website the steps are below:

    1.  Back up your existing database and installation of Tracks
    2.  Install Tracks 2.2.2 in a new directory
    3.  Copy over the configuration from your previous Tracks installation. If using SQLite3, copy the old database into      the new Tracks 2.2.2 directory.
    4.  Update site.yml in the /config directory and set the secret_token to a large random string. See also the comment      in site.yml.tmpl.
    5.  Check that you have all dependencies installed:

bundle install --without development test


    6.  Precompile your static assets (css, javascript, etc.) by running

bundle exec rake assets:precompile


    7.  Run bundle exec rails server -e production inside your Tracks 2.2.2 directory to start up Tracks 2.2.2
    8.  Once you are happy that everything is working well, delete your old Tracks directory.

source: https://github.com/TracksApp/tracks/blob/v2.2.2/doc/upgrading.textile

I downloaded the zip files from:
https://github.com/TracksApp/tracks/archive/v2.2.2.zip
https://github.com/TracksApp/tracks/archive/v2.2.1.zip

There are no errors during the precompiling.  The issues occur when I visit the site and immediately receive error 500 pages.

I am I missing a configuration step which isn't mentioned?

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
