Title: Solved: Case insensitive URLs to E-Smith Server
Post by: Michael Jung on July 22, 2000, 03:47:38 AM

Recently I changed with a whole WebSite form an Netscape Web Server to E-Smith 4.0b7. The Netscape Server didn't care about case sensitive file names so I got problems on the E-Smith Server. I'm not used to SED or equal stuff but found a quick solution for the problem:
I enabled the two lines in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

LoadModule speling_module     modules/mod_speling.so
AddModule mod_speling.c

So, now the Server don't care about German Umlaute or CASE Sensitive Links on our well running E-Smith Server.
Maybe, its useful for someone else.

It would be easy and useful for that small change to be built into a small RPM, so that it can be added to the system that way.

Of course the real problem is not with e-smith, but with the software which allowed you to develop a web site with inconsistent filenames :-)

Of course, it would be fine to have it as a RPM, but until know I never created an RPM so I have to work it out my first time. Since a few days I'm back from writing my final University thesis, and I'm going to be the admnistrator for our small University group. Then I will switch off the NT Server ;-) and will have a look for making RPMs, so I can contribute other stuff I'm already using on my E-Smith Mail and WebServer.

Sincerely yours
Michael
