As many others I am having issues with doing some very simple mod_rewriting in apache.
I have the following in my .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^view/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ view.php?advertId=$1&publisherId=$2 [NC,QSA,L]
Which is supposed to translate /view/4093/203?qs=val -> /view.php?advertId=4093&publisherId=203?qs=val
Now, it works when calling it with /View..., but when doing lowercase /view, it redirects to the right file, but advertId and publisherId is not set within my PHP script as it is with the first-letter-uppercase View and I simply put have no clue whatsoever with what is going on on that front (I have been testing and watching that behavior simply by doing a on my view.php).
Anyone know why this is happening?
I may want to add, my server info is as follows:
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny2 with Suhosin-Patch mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0
IE. a stock brand new debian install with default debian packages + php-mssql.

Step 1 — Enabling mod_rewrite In order for Apache to understand rewrite rules, we first need to activate mod_rewrite . It's already installed, but it's disabled on a default Apache installation. Use the a2enmod command to enable the module: sudo a2enmod rewrite.
The mod_rewrite module uses a rule-based rewriting engine, based on a PCRE regular-expression parser, to rewrite requested URLs on the fly. By default, mod_rewrite maps a URL to a filesystem path. However, it can also be used to redirect one URL to another URL, or to invoke an internal proxy fetch.
Open any web browser browser and type following the URL, 'localhost/check. php'. It will display the PHP version details and Apache Configuration. In Apache Configuration, search for the Loaded Modules section, and there you will find all the modules that are enabled.
The <IfModule mod_rewrite. c>... </IfModule> block ensures that everything contained within that block is taken only into account if the mod_rewrite module is loaded. Otherwise you will either face a server error or all requests for URL rewriting will be ignored.
MultiViews might cause this behavior, that is trying to map the request to a siminar existing file before passing the request to mod_rewrite. Try to disable it:
Options -MultiViews
