Case sensitivity

making Apache case insensitive for one site

[Valesa]

Running Apache to host several sites, how can I make it case insensitive just for one site?

Valesa,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

The case-sensitivity depends on your operating system, not on Apache itself. On a Windows platform, files will be handled in a case-insensitive manner, while on Unix or *nix, the OS is case-sensitive.

If you are running your own server on *nix, then you can use mod_speling [httpd.apache.org] which will make for case insensitivity. If you are on a shared server, it is unlikely that this module will be available to you, unfortunately.

The server hosts many sites but i have access to install mod_speling.c, where can I get it, how do I procede? Will installing it also affect the other sites?

[Valesa]

how do i implement mod_speling? what's the correct syntax for httpd.conf file?

It's all in the documentation ;)

[httpd.apache.org...]

If it is for one site only, set the default to off, then to on just in the virtual host configuration for the site you want.
