HELP

[Panos]

Hello,

In my website happen something very strange, when i created ( before 1 year
) i had name the link page with the name "Links" so the URL for this page was
like: krakow.gr/index_Links.htm after 3-4 months i realized that this name
was not very useful because had the capital "L" so i decided to change it and
to make it "links" so the URL became www.krakow.gr/index_links.htm

Then i went to my FTP and i removed the .htm file "index_Links.htm"

If you now type both these two URLS you will see that both are active, i
have recheck again my FTP and not any file with the name "index_Links.htm"
exist

Anyone has idea what happen here??? try the URLs

1) www.krakow.gr/index_links.htm
2) www.krakow.gr/index_Links.htm



Thanks
Panos

www.krakow.gr/index_Links.htm probably does not exist with the capital "L"
The links page appears to be NOT case sensitive and the page with lower
case "l" comes up. Try http://www.krakow.gr/index_Hotels.htm Capital "H"
and you will see the same thing.

Thats true...but why in all my other websites the URL is case sensitive? for
example try www.bratislava.gr/index_Links.htm its not showing up

It has to do with the hosting company maybe? this is the only explanation i
can undertand ( I have krakow.gr and bratislava.gr in different servers )

Could it be that one server is a windows account and the other a UNIX
account? UNIX is case sensitive. Read this link.

Maybe someone else will chime in here with more information.

Yes that true...the one is Window server and the other Linux...

Thanks for the information.


Best regards

Yep, MS IIS is not case sensitive which is what Panos is on, *nix servers
are case sensitive...always safest to use all lowercase with no spaces or
illegal characters in file names no matter what server you are on.
