  • A puzzler

    From Jim the Geordie@jim@geordieland.com to alt.html on Tue Nov 18 16:56:29 2025

    I have a website, jimscott.co.uk

    If I open this page https://www.jimscott.co.uk/Local/LH_000_gallery.html
    and click on the thumbnail for 'Lion's Head' (about half way down on the right) I get a 404 'Not found'

    However, if I open this page
    https://www.jimscott.co.uk/Local/LH_354_bath.html and click on the top
    right arrow, it goes to where it should (some blokes digging out a fountain)

    I cannot work out why the same link on the two pages does not produce
    the same result.

    Seems like your web server is case-sensitive when handling file paths/names.

    The link in `LH_000_gallery.html` points to `LH_355_Lion_fountain.html`.

    The link in `LH_354_bath.html` points to `LH_355_lion_fountain.html`.

    The actual file in the web server's system is `LH_355_lion_fountain.html`.
    With lowercased `l` for `lion`.

    So the link in `LH_000_gallery.html` points to a non matching file.

    Magic.
    Thank you.
