This gem makes creating cron jobs very easy!

Source: https://github.com/javan/whenever
After defining your crons, you need to run whenever -w to write out the crontab
Use crontab -l to see the list of cron jobs you have

Sample schedule.rb

set :output, {:standard =&gt; 'log/cron.log'} #logs to your log file to view

Setup a WYSIWYG editor with CKEditor. Includes instruction for Rails_Admin

Add gem 'ckeditor' to your Gemfile and bundle
Checkout https://github.com/galetahub/ckeditor for instruction to generate the correct model to generate for uploading of files (eg. ActiveRecord + Paperclip)
Run rake db:migrate
Add //= require ckeditor/override in your application.js (before require_tree .)

To configure the editor to be used in Rails_Admin, follow this https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/wiki/CKEditor

This guide setup Apache2/Passenger/Ruby/Rails on a CentOS 6.4 LiveCD.
You can test it yourself using VirtualBox to run all the scripts - read VirtualBox.md for more info.

# install the necessary libraries
yum clean all
yum -y update
yum -y install curl-devel git sqlite-devel libxml2-devel
yum -y install libxml2 libxml2-devel libxslt libxslt-devel
yum -y install gcc-c++ readline-devel libyaml-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel libtool bison

	These are steps to setup a new project in ROR.
	You must configure and install your Gems individually instead of copying the Gemfile from a previous project.

	Refer to Heroku setup if you want to push your project to Heroku.

	## Setup directory
	```sh
	# Create directory in ~/workspace
	mkdir ./testproject
	cd ./testproject
