Thankyou Aq! It seems it was the mod_speling that was causing the problems now I can go about using my webserver properly

I’m not sure what it is that’s making the webserver do the automatic “correction”, but it might be that MultiViews is turned on. Try “Options -MultiViews” in .htaccess, which should turn it off if you’re allowed to do so (and if that’s what’s causing the problem).
Alternatively, it might be mod_speling (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_speling.html) that’s doing it. If it is, then “CheckSpelling Off” in .htaccess will disable that.
If it’s neither of those, I don’t know what it is

Could be that “Options -MultiViews” in .htaccess would do the trick (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options). But I’ve never encountered that problem myself.
