Hi

I'm a newbie to Apache and would like to know if it's possible to
change the
way Apache work with directory names (instead of case-sensitive, I
would
like to have a case unsensitive).

Best regards

Michel

Peter's answer is good, but he left out the requisite lecture ;-)

It is not Apache that is case sensitive, it is the web.  URLs are case
sensitive by definition.  Your best bet is to teach your content-providers
about this.  mod_speling can help you out a little, but it causes extra
load by requiring a redirection on every "wrong" spelling.

Joshua.
