Hi everyone,
Do Drupal URL aliases have to be lower case? example:
node/32 => Repository/YOUTroubleShooting
doesn't seem to work, but:
node/32 => repository/youtroubleshooting
workes. I'm using 4.7 with clean urls. Thanks for any help...

UNIX-(Server)-Filesystems are case-sensitive, i.e. all of the path after the first '/' has to keep the case (Windows e.g. is not, hence some confusion I guess). Sometimes 'cheap' software does not care about it (e.g. is converting all to lower case) and fails.
I am using all cases on two Drupal sites and no problem with URL aliases - as long as you *keep the case*.
Path aliases don't actually hit the disk, so Unix file semantics don't matter. The alias is looked up by string literal in a lookup table, so it is case-sensitive. Upper-case aliases are fine, they're just case-sensitive.
