We generally use two different hosting services. On one, everything works ticketyboo, as it does on my local dev servers. On the other server, however, I am having this problem:

I can't access the users controller like this: http://www.example.com/users/login

But I can like this: http://www.example.com/Users/login

** note the capitalised 'Users' **

If I displace the application to a sub-folder everything works fine (both upper- and lowercase).

The hosting company have looked at it and can't see a problem at their end and they assure me that users is not a reserved word.

You might say this isn't a problem, just use the version that works. Unfortunately it leads to problems downstream where Cake core starts generating urls itself.

Anybody else seen this problem or know the solution?

[This only occurs on the users controller - all others work as expected]
