mod_rewrite uppercase

[laanes]

I can't get my head around rewriting my websites URL's.

 

I'd like to rewrite mywebsite.com/page.php to be accessed as:

 

mywebsite.com/page or mywebsite.com/PAGE

 

If there is no such page, then redirect to home page.

 

So i've tried this:

 

RewriteRule ^(\w+)\/?$ $1.php [NC] [L]

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule .* index.php

 

Result:

 

mywebsite.com/page_that_doesn't_exist - works as intended, takes me to index.php

 

mywebsite.com/page works fine.

 

mywebsite.com/PAGE gives me this - You don't have permission to access /C:/wamp/www/mywebsite.com/PAGE.php/ on this server.

 

Why this kind of error and can i maybe force lowercase on PAGE ?
