I am somewhat of a newbee to VOS, but not to programming and development. I
am really amazed that there is such a product and so little buzz about it
yet. Hopefully, as the Semantic Web takes off then more people will discover
this platform, as it certainly fills the bill for so many capabilities.

My question concerns the basics of getting started in development. So for
example, I wanted to write the equivalent of a "Hello World" for the VOS
that uses the vsp language. I have successfully installed VOS and most of
ODS on Gentoo Linux with the defaults. So the VOS files reside in
/usr/local/virtuoso-opensource. Since the home page seems to run from this
directory: /usr/loca/virtuoso-opensource/var/lib/virtuoso/vsp , I created
some hello world files in the directory. I can run straight HTML from the
directory without any problem. And in the HTML file, I can include the
index_left.vsp or my own vsp file (as an iframe) if I have the included
files in the admin sub-directory. But if I try to create another
sub-directory (e.g., admin2) and include a vsp file or if I try to include a
vsp file in the home directory (not in the admin subdirectory), then I get
an error "The requested active content cannot be displayed due to execution
restriction". Obviously this is a permissions issue, but I could not find
anything fruitful in the documentation on ACL or anywhere else and so was
wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to set up
permissions and/or how to go about creating a simple "Hello World" program
that will execute some vsp code in it.

Thanks in advance for any reply.
