If the directories are case sensitive,

www.mydomain.com/mydir
as opposed to
www.myDomain.com/Mydir

is it possible to set directories so they aren't case sensitive?

Is this a Linux thing? I've not used Linux before is why I ask.

Best regards.

The only way to get directories that are not case sensitive is to use Windows. All other operating systems are case sensitive (including Linux).

You could set up a redirect from one version to the other but most people just type all values in lowercase in the expectation that all sites use lowercase for everything.

The only things that are not case sensitive are user names and domain names.

Thanks for the reply. I'll opt for the all lowercase dirs.

Best regards.
