Hello,
I convinced my boss to move his web hosting to Site5 which he did. He was prior on an older Windows base hosting platform that did not support PHP. The new website we built requires PHP which works great on Site5.
The issue is that I was not aware that he has a directory with a bunch of images in it that he uses within forum posts on a forum where he is very active. So within some of his forum posts he references an image like:
www.domainname.com/pimages/SlapsHead.jpg
He has like 150 of these. But he is also a terrible typest and Windows not having case sensitive names has allowed him to get by with some entries being the above and in other cases he’s done things like:
www.domainname.com/pImages/slapsHead.jpg
or
www.domainname.com/PImages/SlapsHEAD.jpg
Of course on linux or any *nx host this simply won’t work be cause the files are case sensitive.
I’m curious if there is some thing we can install or make use of that would resolve these different filenames to one known filename. Kind of like a name resolver.
I know I could create symbolic links for him but I have no idea what symbolic links I would need for each of his like 150 images.
If we cannot come up with some solution he will be closing the account and moving to a Windows based host with PHP.
Any thoughts? Or does Site5 offer a host that would work for him and if so can we convert his dallas based regular hosting account to that new account type?
