WordPress in Sub Directory Case Issue

  • Hi,

    I have a website and want to install WordPress under a “Blog” sub-directory. The installation is working fine, but I’m having an issue with case sensitivity.

    If I go to: https://wp.canopy29.com/blog, I get an error page.
    If I go to: https://wp.canopy29.com/Blog, it works just fine.

    I’m running on Windows Server 2008 and IIS7.

    I’ve looked around and can’t seem to figure out what the issue is. I also have a web.config file under the sub-directory to allow for URL re-writing. The web.config code looks like:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
	<system.webServer>
		<rewrite>
			<rules>
				<rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
					<match url=".*"/>
					<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
						<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
						<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true"/>
					</conditions>
					<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php"/>
				</rule>
				<rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
					<match url="*"/>
					<conditions>
						<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
						<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true"/>
					</conditions>
					<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php"/>
				</rule>
			</rules>
		</rewrite>
	</system.webServer>
</configuration>

    Hi govpatel…. Thanks for your response. Is there anyway that I can set it up to ignore the case-sensitivity?? With all of my other websites that are .NET C# based, it doesn’t matter if a file has an upper-case or a lower-case. It seems odd that wordpress (or PHP) for that matter wouldn’t allow a work around so that it wouldn’t matter was the case was.

    Maybe it’s a different setting in PHP?? Please let me know.

    Thanks!

    As far as I know and I have always worked on linux server and php scripts it gives errors if you do not use as named.
