[Opensim-users] Creating oar file from folder

[Tom Willans]

I am trying to generate a oar file based upon the folder from a  
decompressed file. I am using the command

tar cvzf myoarfile.tar.gz * from with the folder itself ( this is now  
readable).  What am I doing wrong?

11:37:55 - [ARCHIVER]: Could not find extension information in asset  
path assets/ since it's missing the separator _.  Skipping
11:37:55 - [ARCHIVER]: Could not parse region settings file  
settings/.  Ignoring.  Exception was System.Xml.XmlException:  
Document element did not appear.  Line 1, position 1.

I have also tried tar cvzf myoarfile.tar.gz oldoarfolder/ It  then  
ignore all the folders within the oar file.

Thanks
