Apache mod speling case insensitive urls issue

Apache Mod_Speling creating insensitive URL's

I have seen it where a customer migrates their website from an Microsoft platform and their urls are not case sensitive and they need a solution with Apache.

This is where mod_speling comes into play, by default this module is install with most modern apache installations. You will probably just need to uncomment the LoadModules section in your httpd.conf file

vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Locate the following line

#LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so

and remove the #

LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so

Tell apache what vhost/server wide

To enable mod_speling (either by Location or VirtualHost) use the directive:

CheckSpelling On

If all you want is case insensitivity use:

CheckCaseOnly On

Now you should be able to muck up the urls and still access the same content.
