Hi there!

I am working on a site. I have all the filenames lowercase, and I want it to not yield a 404 if someone types WHATEVER.php instead of whatever.php. I have tried this in my .htaccess

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
    
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [A-Z]
RewriteRule (.*) ${lc:$1} [R=301,L]
	
IndexIgnore *

with this in my httpd.conf

RewriteMap  lc int:tolower

The problem is, when I do the URL with upper case letters in it, instead of sending me to the correct page (say, http://www.example.com/example.php), it sends me to the root of the directory my site is hosted on, with the domain in front (say, http://www.example.c...orum/example/). The code for forcing the "www." doesn't seem to be interfering at all (that part works, actually).

What am I doing wrong?

I seem to recall reading about a bug that caused some inconsistent behavior in mod_rewrite when it tried to guess whether or not to use a file-system path over an URL path, and adding a / in front of the substitution string was a suggested workaround for that.

Also, there was a thread posted here a few days ago about a similar problem. The OP in that thread reported that the RewriteBase directive fixed that issue.

I tried that, but if I do that, it just sends me to the root of the folder. If I went to http://www.example.com/EXAMPLE.php, it would send me to http://www.example.com
