I assume that your problem is due to the fact that the Windows file names are
case insensitive, whereas filenames on Unices are case sensitive. In that case
I believe there is nothing much you can do other than correcting all the links
in the HTML code, unless you want to rewrite all URL paths of the requests and
make sure that all directory and file names under your DocumentRoot are for
example lowercase
If so, you need to use mod_rewrite. Make sure the module is loaded and add the
following lines to your configuration:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteMap canonical int:tolower
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ${canonical:$1}
You would also need to make sure that the file and directory names in your
DocumentRoot are in the canonical form. You can do this by running the
following command:
DOCUMENTROOT=<path to the httpd document root>
for f in `find $DOCUMENTROOT` ; do mv $f `echo $f | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' ` ; done
-ascs

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Case insensitive apache ?
Hi !
Sorry a lot if this question has been asked before but i have been unable to
find any message or webpage about.
I have just migrated to a apache linux server from a windows machine and it
seems that some of the people that was making the website doesn't follow the
golden rule of the web design: all in lower letters !!!... :-(
The result has been a lot of broken links in the new server.
Now, i have the option to check all the pages to put all in lower letters or
maybe there's a solution for apache to ignore lower / capital letters in the
filenames?
Sorry again if this question has been asked before... (i have that feeling)
Thanks a lot for any help
p.s
If there's no way, maybe some of you would know a way to convert all the
filenames to lower letters in unix. Thanks !
