+To use tweeper via web there are two options (the examples assume the

+
+1. Using the PHP built-in web server:
+
+  php -S localhost:8000 -t /usr/share/php/tweeper/
++
+and then visit 'http://localhost:8000/tweeper.php' in the web browser.

+In order to use tweeper with a symlink with the apache 'userdir' module, the
+'SymLinksIfOwnerMatch' option must be replaced by 'FollowSymlink' in
