This is just an HTML site and I’m trying to switch hosting companies. Can you tell me why it’s not showing up right on the new server? Both servers have the same exact files.

Thanks.
Half the time you call the images directory “images” and the other half “Images”. You need to pick a case and stick with it. I recommend all lower case. Rename the actual directory to “images” as well.
You’re moving from a case-insensitive operating system (Windows) to a case-sensitive one (Linux).
Great. Thanks, Dan. I appreciate it.
Apart from Linux and Microsoft having their issues with case sensitive things, choosing a particular form of naming conventions also invokes good practice and uniformity in the future.
I think “best practices” denotes lower case everything, if I’m not mistaken. Thanks for posting, BBCMember.
Not always - consistency is best practice. As long as you’re consistent each and everytime you work, you’re fine, no matter where your code/markup is executing.
I believe Black Max did actually mean “constancy” and the fact that if you enforce a convention it is usually easier typing lower-case for filenames and was aware of case sensitivity “issues” and non-standard URL encoding, etc.
Albeit his words just came-out slightly wrong.
