Making Apache 2.2 on SuSE Linux Case In-Sensitive. Which is a better approach?
- by pingu
Problem:
http://<server>/home/APPLE.html
http://<server>/hoME/APPLE.html
http://<server>/HOME/aPPLE.html
http://<server>/hoME/aPPLE.html
All the above should pick this
http://<server>/home/apple.html
I implemented 2 solutions and both are working fine. Not sure which one is better(performance). Please Suggest..Also Directive - CheckCaseOnly on never worked
Option 1:
a)Enable:mod_speling
In /etc/sysconfig/apache2 - APACHE_MODULES="rewrite speling apparmor......"
b) Add directive - CheckSpelling on (Either in .htaccess or add in httpd.conf)
In httpd.conf
<Directory srv/www/htdcos/home>
Order allow,deny
CheckSpelling on
Allow from all
</Directory>
or
In .htaccess inside /srv/www/htdcos/home(your content folder)
CheckSpelling on
Option 2:
a) Enable: mod_rewrite
b) Write the rule vhost(you can not write RewriteMap in directory. check apache docs )
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteMap lc int:tolower
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [A-Z]
RewriteRule (.*) ${lc:$1} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteMap lc int:tolower
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [A-Z]
RewriteRule (.*) ${lc:$1} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
This changes the entire request uri into lowercase. I want this to happen for specific folder, but RewriteMap doesn't work in .htaccess. I am novice in regex and Rewrite. I need a RewriteCond which checks only /css//. can any body help
