LoadPath = ./plugin
...
Load6 = Hosting,hosting_php.so
...
* Notes: Make sure you have the following line in your virtuoso.ini section [Parameters] (for instance that is used for phpBB database). If not set phpBB would not work correct with the Virtuoso DB:
PrefixResultNames = 0
1. Setup "Local Virtuoso" DSN (note the empty space in the name!) in order to access any of the application URLs.

1. Enter the user's "Password". For dba, the default password is dba.
1. Click "Next"
1. Click "Finish".
1. Installing packages:
1. Using ISQL:
1. Install the ODS ods_framework_dav.vad package:
DB.DBA.VAD_INSTALL('tmp/ods_framework_dav.vad',0);
1. Install the phpBB3 phpBB3_fs.vad package:
SQL> DB.DBA.VAD_INSTALL('tmp/phpBB3_fs.vad',0);
1. Using Conductor UI:
* For more information see [[OdsIntegrationphpBBInstallCond][here]].
---+++Linked Data View Scripts
* You can find the phpBB3 Linked Data View scripts [[http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtRDFViewPHPBB3][here]]. Note that they are included in the phpBB3 package.
