Mojoportal capitalization problem (how can i force all lower)?

Hello, 

I have a problem with my website, maybe someone here had this same problem and can help me...

I don't want capitalization in URL, i never used it.

I have a multisite:

www telecomhall com 

with /br for portuguese site, and /es para spanish.

But the website is facing a very strange behavior: sometimes when i click a link for 'br' or 'es' site, i get it capitalized.

To see the problem please type:

www

telecomhall

com

/

br

/

Note: i've include 'force capitalization' keys in web.config

On Windows web servers urls are not case sensitive.

It looks to me like you have the folder mapping in Administration > Site Settings as capital letters therefore the menu links have /BR/ rather than /br/

There is nothing in mojoPortal that changes the case so if you want it lower case then make it lower case in the folder mapping

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your reply. 

Unfortunately, i have created it low, i used 'br' to create portuguese site.

As there were no other clues, i tried do 301 redirect. But it gave me a loop.

So i fixed (remove 301 redirect in br site), and create a redirection in base site (.com).

But seems it doesn't work.

If you do a serach for RRC RAB in google, you'll see BR site indexed... :( (instead of br).

I really don't know what to do, so if someone have any suggestion, please help.

Googling it, i have found a suggestion to use 301, and also configure your web server to map lowercase urls to uppercase.

Would it be a solution? (ask my web ISP to do it?)

Thanks.

if you make changes in your site it may take a little while before google gets updated, eventually they will crawl your site again and update the index, it should not be a big problem, the cannonical url in the page meta data will be lower case and google will see that when they crawl your site.
