Thanks for letting me know. This explains why MinimServer 0.8.1 wasn't working for you. Unpacking the archive on Windows destroys the links. Doesn't VX contain tar? If not, you will need to install it to be able to use MinimServer on VZ.

Hello,

Some misunderstanding here. My laptop doesn't run Windows (God forbid ) but Linux and the trouble with the missing link apparently comes from copying it from one box to another with scp. Somehow this version (either server or client side, not sure yet) automatically 'follows symbolic links' so it copies the directory the link is referring too.

This VZ does have tar, but not gunzip as standard. So either pack it with just tar or use the zip function inside tar, so making it a tgz file. Or of course I can install gunzip within the VZ container..
