I am interesting in using this tool.  However, I am having issues with the
install.  My issue is with Part III on the installation documentation.  I
did steps 1,2,3,4, (skipped 5 for now), but don't understand step #6.

"Finally configure your web browser to server webpages giving it
permissions to execute PHP scripts within the webroot you specified in
point 2."    - I don't know what this means or where to give it permissions
?

So, I have skipped that step (which is probably my problem.  I did step #7
- run the "nessus3links.sh" script.

Now, when I try to do step #8 - "login to the Inprotect Web Console using
the user "Admin" account, I get the web browser error message:

"mysql://:@/inprotect failed to connectAccess denied for user
''@'localhost' to database 'inprotect' "
Look at the generated error. 

Do you see the username stated anywhere?

You need to ensure that you correctly declare your mysql user in the inprotect 
configuration file. As well, you need to ensure that this mysql user has the 
proper permissions for the 'inprotect' database.
