# WordPress is case sensitive

 * I installed WordPress in a directory called ‘WordPress’. Note the capital W and
   capital P. I could not get my website to start after typing ‘www.mywebsite.org/
   wordpress’.
 * Finally, I tried ‘www.mywebsite.org/WordPress’, and it worked!
 * This same gotcha had me stumped for a while when I had to edit the index.php 
   after changing the site URL to just ‘www.mywebsite.org’ I had followed the instructions
   from WordPress, which used ‘/wordpress’ in the example.
 * I’ve not seen any mention of case-sensitivity in the documentation I have followed
   so far.
