How do I make Linux server urls case insensitive?

Question

I am working a website which is deployed on a linux server. I have small changes to do on that. I have folder read. The requirement is that if i enter the url localhost:80/tom/Read or ../READ or /read it need to navigate to read.php inside a read folder. I am struggling from 2 days. Please possible do the needful.

Thanks

Looks like you're looking for some URL rewriting technique. Apache does that quite well. — Fabien, Feb 11 '13 at 14:17

You could point the Document Root at a path upon which you mount a case-insensitive filesystem (FAT32 for example), or use something along the lines of mod_spelling.

Another option is to use a RewriteMap rule, such as laid out at [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2923658/convert-to-lowercase-in-a-mod-rewrite-rule1) SO question. – TML Feb 11 '13 at 14:18

You could write a htaccess to lowercase stuff

Hi s.lenders I created a file .htaccess under a root directory. Placed following code. mention below/ – sonorita Feb 11 '13 at 14:26
Add the htaccess in your question, can't in a comment – s.lenders Feb 11 '13 at 14:28
Lowercasing everything this way can have unintended consequences... like broken vendor code. – Neil Davis May 11 '19 at 14:02
