How do I disable that? I'm running apache with cpanel.
that is, I want Index.html iNdEx.html and index.html to be the same document

Thanks

It's not possible with the standard linux file system (ext2/3). I do believe ReiserFS is case insensitive.
It's not apache's or cpanel's fault, it's just the filesystel is made.
[edit]
You can also install linux on a FAT filesystem, but I do NOT recommend this.

In Linux, it is case sensitive. If you have it in Windows though, it would be case insensitive. It is really sort of how the operating system behaves so there is nothing much you could do about it.

Why do you need it?
May be you can write a script or something like that.

I don't know if it's possible? Can a script be done?

The standard mod_speling module distributed with Apache will correct miscapitalization. It redirects miscapitalized URL to the correct one.
