error 404

You will notice that in the WebHelp output settings there is an option for using lower case file names.

This option is something to consider enabling. Actually, I always recommend that it be enabled as it can save your bacon in many cases. Yours may be one such case.

Here's the deal. See that bit in parenthesis where it reads "Recommended for UNIX"?

Here's why that may be important. Maybe you have created a topic and named it "My_Favorite_Topic.htm". You know what its name is so there isn't much of a need to go hunt it down when linking to it. So you casually type my_favorite_topic.htm when creating the link. All is well when testing from your PC. And depending on the server, all may be well when testing from there if the server is a Windows server. But if the server is a UNIX server, you now have a broken link that will result in a 404 error when clicked.

See, Windows will never allow the following file names:

MyFile.htm

MYFile.htm

mYfIlE.htm

MYFILE.htm

I could go on and on with different variations but to Windows, there can only be one file that is named that way and it doesn't distinguish between upper and lower case characters. But UNIX is different that way. Each of those can exist side by side on a UNIX system.

That option for converting to lower case ensures that all links will work in the published output.
