[users@httpd] How to access files via apache stored in InItCaps
Hi All,
I am not an expert in apache so please ignore if this question
sounds silly.
I have placed some text file in one of the folder ( htdocs ) in apache ,
File name is TestPage.txt so when I try to access this page from
browser message comes as page not found . On checking error message on
log files I can see that it displays that file testpage.txt not
found so its loking for "lowercase" file name .
How to force apache so that it looks for actual name ( case
sensitive ) of file rather then changing it to lowercase.

Apache does not, by default, change the case. Are you sure that you
typed the proper case into your browser? What EXACTLY does the error
log and access log for this request look like.
Basic case-sensitivity issues can be solved with mod_speling.

Technically it is the operating system that is case insensitive (in the
case of Windows), not the application.

On Windows Apache is case-insensitive to filenames. It is case-sensitive to
Aliases though. However it logs the actual case-sensitive request sent by
the browser. I just checked it now.
If youre on unix I have no clue actually, but I feel it should work if you
type TestPage.txt in the browser instead of testpage.txt. Does this also not
work?
Or do you want to make Apache case insensitive?
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Emmanuel

You could use a registry expression with mod_rewrite something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)[Tt][Ee][Ss][Tt][Pp][Aa][Gg][Ee]\.txt$ /testpage.txt
This is by no means a great example of either mod_rewrite or rexexp
but it's a start...
If you have .htaccess files enabled you can put it in there...
