I recently switched from IIS to Apache and unfortionately some of my links have capitalization issues. I have seen quite a few people talking about how to rewrite urls to be all lowercase or all uppercase but I need something to just make Apache case insensitive. Is this doable with .htaccess?

add

CheckSpelling on

to your .htaccess file of course after enabling the RewriteEngine

so the final code will be

RewriteEngine on
CheckSpelling on

I guess it is the best and safest way.

dont forget to change

AllowOverride none

to

AllowOverride All

inside your httpd.conf file, to allow .htaccess files to work correctly.
