Brett is quite correct. Most web servers use some flavour of Unix as their underlying operating system. Unix is, unlike Windows, case sensitive when it comes to naming everything. To give Windows its' due, even IIS has to obey the 'rules' when it comes to case sensitivity because it can not guarantee that the browser being used is running on a Windows box. So, when dealing with wide world, make sure that you are consistent and accurate in the naming of files and other objects. Avoid spaces in names.
