Please only use lowercase filenames and directories!

Post by jottlieb »

Hello,

I just installed s9y some minutes ago. Instalation was perfect, but after that nothing was function and I had errors.
The reason was found quickly: Some deep directories and files are Upercase, but my ftp program uploads all in lowercase, so that thees files have'nt been found.
I think it's a bad habit from the developers to use uppercase, because you should know, that Unixsystems (=the most webservers) are case sensitive.

It's a bad habbit of users to not upload files as they were meant.

You also don't rename core linux files and expect the system to work as expected? ;))

So I'm really sorry for your problems, but as they were caused by your FTP utility, you should blame that for changing files which it shouldn't do...hope you can understand our perspective. The files that are required with upper/lower-casing are BTW all PEAR-files, and those are external libraries we bundle and we have no influence on how they keep their upper/lowercasing...

Regards,
Garvin
