Thanks for you response. That worked. Mason is now using the autohandler as
expected. :)
The website i was supplied had "autohandler.mh" files so being
inexperienced, i just assumed that was the file extension they had. For this
particular site, could this mean that mason has been instructed (somewhere
in the httpd.conf file) to use autohandler.mh files for its autohandlers
instead of just "autohandler" (without the 'mh') extension?
As i'm not experienced with linux i cannot find the httpd.conf file on the
live server for this website so therefore cannot check it.
Does anyone know where the httpd.conf file normally resides on hosted
websites please?
Thanks again for your help.
Nick.
