If the site i am trying to fix all the urls on the server are /Site-Link would the redirect or force lowercase work for this?

If you are on a shared server such as HostGator (my case), they will not be able to change the httpd.conf file for you. Instead, you are going to have to use a php script for a redirect from upper to lower URLs. My site is hosted at HostGator and the php script redirect works great!

I am also stuck with this url re-write. I want to pull my hairs now.
I am doing re-write in httpd.conf file.

but there are 3-5 level of urls, and I don’t know how to arrange them. I put the 5th level url on top but still some how it goes to zero level url. i.e. http://www.example.com/abc-def.html

any solution ….

Thanks for the info.

If URLs have parameters, will this code force the parameters and their values to lowercase as well, or will just the part of the URL up to the ‘?’ be converted to lowercase?

Ideally, in my client’s situation, they’d like for parameters and their values to remain in their current case (whether upper or lower) and only force the part of the URL up to the ‘?’ to lowercase (mainly because they have a ton of AdWords tracking codes with some uppercase letters and would prefer to keep it that way). If anyone knows how to revise the code accordingly, that would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

I had to alter the htaccess rewriterule a little in order to get it to work–otherwise, it rewrote to the absolulte server path. If this helps anyone else…

First, as stated above, this line goes in httpd.conf:
RewriteMap lc int:tolower

This goes in htaccess:

# used in conjunction with rewritemap in httpd.conf for forcing lowercase
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [A-Z]
RewriteRule ^[\/]*(.*)$ /${lc:$1} [R=301,L]
