I am assuming you are using Windows? If the Operating System is not case sensitive, then Apache cannot be.

[usafshah]

well i'm using fedora .. which is case sensitive

Do you have both files in the same directory? I can see no reason why if you have file.html and FILE.HTML in a directory, Apache would not be able to tell the difference...

[usafshah]

no i mean .. if there is a file in caps FILE.HTML and apache should read it when i type file.html in small also.

See, that's a limitation of the Operating System. The Linux OS differentiates between FILE.HTML and file.html and FilE.HtML. Therefore, Apache (using the operating system to open files) is case sensitive as well.
You may be able to use mod_rewrite in order to remove case sensitivity, but I do not know for sure.

i have checked through phpinfo(); it has loaded the following modules


core prefork http_core mod_so mod_auth_basic mod_auth_digest mod_authn_file mod_authn_alias mod_authn_anon mod_authn_dbm mod_authn_default mod_authz_host mod_authz_user mod_authz_owner mod_authz_groupfile mod_authz_dbm mod_authz_default util_ldap mod_authnz_ldap mod_include mod_log_config mod_logio mod_env mod_ext_filter mod_mime_magic mod_expires mod_deflate mod_headers mod_usertrack mod_setenvif mod_mime mod_dav mod_status mod_autoindex mod_info mod_dav_fs mod_vhost_alias mod_negotiation mod_dir mod_actions mod_speling mod_userdir mod_alias mod_rewrite mod_proxy mod_proxy_balancer mod_proxy_ftp mod_proxy_http mod_proxy_connect mod_cache mod_suexec mod_disk_cache mod_file_cache mod_mem_cache mod_cgi mod_php5 mod_auth_mysql mod_proxy_ajp

Hi,

I am having a similar problem where I to make Apache 2.2.4 Http Web server Case Sensitive on Windows platform.

I have development, staging and production environment where I have Apache 2.2.4 Http Web server installed. On development environment I have Windows OS and for staging and production I have Linux OS installed.

Now each time while deploying the files to staging and production from dev server I am facing problem. Apache on Linux is case sensitive therefore many of my links are broken after deployment to staging.

Now to trap this issue while developing the application, I want to make my devlopment environmant as case sensitive where I have Apache on windows server.

Could you please help?

I Want to make Apache on Windows from Case In-Sensitive to Case Sensitive.
This is inverse of the above mentioned problem.
plz suggest..

Either way you want it, it is the same setting you need to manipulate. The instructions above are to make it case-insensitive, if you want it case-sensitive, just do the opposite.

I tried it all and restarted the apache. But it didn't worked. Is it possible to make apache as case-sensitive on windows?

Thanks,

You tried disabling mod_spelling in your httpd.conf file, and restarted apache?

Yes, I Commented the

LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so

as

#LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so

Then I restarted Apache. but stilll it can access test.php even though called with name tEsT.pHp
