This is a bluehost question posted by Bob Barr on 05 July 2008

I’ve managed to shoot myself in the foot regarding case sensitivity in directory names under Unix. I created a subdirectory and installed the Mantis bug-tracking system in it. Unfortunately, I named the directory ‘Mantis’. The announcement went out listing it as ‘mantis’. A correction was sent out when people couldn’t log on and now half the users think it’s capatilized and the other half think it isn’t.

I’m unclear on exactly what I’d need to add to the ‘.htaccess’ file to allow the link to be entered as either www.example.com/Mantis or www.example.com/mantis and still get to the same directory.

Would it be possible to create a dummy directory (I think this is called a symlink) to achieve the same result?

Are there any pros/cons for choosing one method over the other?
