Linked databases not working on server

in FileMaker Server v7 - v11

We run a set of linked databases on a FM Server Advanced 12. The links work if the databases are all in the same folder on a client, but when moved to the server and accessed from a remote client the links are broken giving an error "missing file" even though the databases are in the same relative place as they were on the client install.

 

Has anyone seen this before?  We had to move our setup off a Mac server as this was out of warranty, the same setup worked on the Mac installation of the server.

 

Current setup: Windows 2008 server R2, Filemaker Advanced Server 12.0.4, remote clients all FM Pro 12.0.4

How did you upload the files into FM Server?, and more specifically where are they on your server?

Check the file references in the file, are they all of type "file:" ?  (meaning, no paths, no IP or DNS names in them)

If all of your file references are relative then this should just continue to work.
