(*) Run the linkpit.sql on your mysql client. This creates tables, required for
Linkpit and also some sample data.

        On Ubuntu and similar debian distros, all you have to do is run
        the following command on terminal"
                sudo a2enmode rewrite
        and restart apache by
                sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

(*) Change the line about RewriteBase in .htaccess so that it points to your
sub-directory, incase Linkpit is not hosted on webserver's root.
