[openvps-dev] error creating reference server

[Gregory (Grisha) Trubetskoy]

Thanks! Clearly a bug - at some point we went from 'oh' (which stood for 
open hosting') to 'openvps', but the reason this one went unnoticed is 
perhaps we had made a symlink oh -> openvps on our test machine...

Just fixed it in the latest CVS (also renamed OH_DIR to OV_DIR, which is 
more appropriate).
