i wanted to shift my website from windows to Linux but i am scared that will through so many errors of due to case sensitive file name recognition of Linux hosting. Is there a host or way where we can disable this feature in Linux?

If you are using apache, use mod_spelling. This will correct for capitalization problems.

thanks.

But some one suggested me on another forum that to make hosting accounts interpret SomeFile.htm as somefile.htm is not possible in Linux hosting. How true is this?

I never tried it, but you might have to change all of the files to all lower case, then tell Apache to change all of the requests to all lower case.

There isn't a way to tell linux to ignore the case. But you can tell Apache to alter the requests.

this is what exactly i personally posted at WHT after i got the previous reply.

But many thanks though.;-)

With mod_spelling, if you type in Index.html, index.htm, iNDex.htm, or any other variation and there is no exact match, mod_spelling will find the close match - It tries to fix capitalization problems, extension problems, transposition problems and general spelling problems.

You could also try using mod_rewrite and a regular expression to rewrite urls to the propper case.
