Hi,
I guess what you need to do is mount the /usr/local/apache/www via SAMBA.
This would help you work around the case sensitivity problem of Apache
(without recompiling Apache with nod_speling/mod_rewrite). Follow these steps
and you should be through(I assume you have Samba configured and running):
a.... add a user webuser
useradd webuser
also add this to your samba user list
smbpasswd -a webuser
b.... make a directory under /home (say /home/web) and chown/chgrp it to
webuser
chown webuser /home/web
chgrp webuser /home/web
c.... add a samba share by adding the following lines to /etc/samba/smb.conf
[web1]
valid users = webuser
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 <IP for this machine>
path = /usr/local/apache/www
read only = yes
d.... now restart samba by issueing a /etc/init.d/smb restart
e.... you should now be able to mount the directory by issueing a
mount -t smbfs -o
username=webuser,password=yourpassword //127.0.0.1/web1 /home/web1
That should do it, does work for me.
