This would be the best way to handle it
  1. Try to do all the searching and replacing to make the site work without mod_spelling
  2. Enable some sort of logging in the mod_spelling module [ I don't think this exists :-(  ]
  3. Use the logged information to help you fix problems in the code at your leisure.
  4. Then, when you stop seeing stuff in your log, turn off the feature.
What's good about this is I think the mod_spelling really only takes up extra CPU every time it has to go looking for an "almost" match.  So you won't have much overhead with mod_spelling on if most of your links use the right file name.

There is a lot of code, I hate to turn mod_spelling on, but you know how it is, we will do all the searching and replacing and testing, and we will miss a few, and have issues. Like when we migrated to mysql, we changed all the code, and tested everything, but we had stuff we chased for a couple of weeks. So I think I will bite the bullet, and either enable mod spelling, or change our system to have the site files on a actual windows share, not an smb share on a linux server.

We enable mod_spelling on sites that we move over from windows machines and we don't have the time to fix case issues.  how hard is it to fix your code?  Just make everything lowercase and do some searching and replacing.

Moving from windows or mac webserving to IIS can be a bummer if you always ignored case.

In the past, I got around this, but using a SMB share, and mounting on the web server, and it would be case insensitive, but with the new fedora 5, and the new cifs client, it recognizes the smb share is on a linux server, and apache is still serving with case sensitivity. Has anyone else dealt with this? Is the only other method to use the mod_spelling module? I don't want to put the share on an actual windows server.

Thx.
