Thanks for verifying Pete that it's not just us. This is a bummer. So Server Admin is off-limits for us for now. What seems bizarre is that Apple uses all these case-fancy paths -- /Library/ WebServer, /Users/Sites, but then creates an admin tool that disrespects case. Very annoying.


For us, this came up when installing Lyceum (the multi-user fork of WordPress), and creating an alias from /blogs (virtual) to / Library/WebServer/Documents/wwwrooot/include/lyceum/src. Lyceum would then look in some subdirectory of that location for its own data, e.g. /blogs/username would be mapped by Lyceum to include/ lyceum/src/wp-content/blogs/3 . And from there, it would try to pull up index.php -- which is where things probably connect to the Directory override stuff you mention below.

Anyway, long story short is that this bug breaks applications.

What you fail to realize is that Apple's default volume format is case-insensitivity. I believe there is a warning about formatting your volumes using case-sensitivity in one of the docs and only to use it for the sake of legacy compatibility or some-such. Anyway, on a case-insensitive volume, this is all a non-issue and Apple's apps are working as they intended.
