help with mod rewrite

[coolfx35]

Hello,

So bascially this is what I needed.

everytime someone goes to

http://www.example.com/XBOX

I want it to go to

http://www.example.com/xbox

Can someone tell me what rule I can use for this?

RewriteRule ^XBOX/ http://www.example.com/xbox/ [R=301,L]

---------------

http://www.example.com/XBox/index.php

Will go to

http://www.example.com/xbox/index.php

But

http://www.example.com/XBox/ <-- still says page not found.

I need it to go to

http://www.example.com/xbox/

Thanks.

Note:

RewriteRule ^XBox/ http://www.example.com/xbox/ [R=301,L] <-- this doesn't work neither.

If you want to detect and correct any and all upper- and lowercase 'mixtures', then you'll need something like:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/xbox/$
RewriteRule ^XBOX/$ http://www.example.com/xbox/ [NC,R=301,L]

Using [NC] means the rule pattern always matches, regardless of upper/lowercase.
The RewriteCond is therefore needed to prevent a redirection loop if the requested URL-path is already all-lowercase.

If you want to redirect /XboX/<any-path> to /xbox/<any-path>, then you'll need to back-reference the additional path-part and use:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/xbox/
RewriteRule ^XBOX/(.*)$ http://www.example.com/xbox/$1 [NC,R=301,L]
