I wouldn't take any advice on this one as a poke.  Anything welcome!  I'm
definitely editing the right file.  The line is definitely right as I have
added .shtml to it in the past and that worked.

As I have said in another post, I have it working now by adding the extra
line in the Virtual Sites section in the httpd.conf file.  I can't
understand why it's ignoring it in srm.conf though.  Still, at least it's
fixed.

The file name extensions weren't the problem.  It was the files that
contained links to .php files that were causing the hassle.  Now that I have
the php3 extensions working it doesn't matter now as I have just taken all
the originals and reuploaded.  I do have another question though.  It's OT
but someone might be able to save me some time.

All the MySQL tables are ISAM and for some reason are read only.  When I try
and change the type it just errors with table x is read only.  The only way
I can do it at the moment is by dropping the table and rebuilding it.  Not
too much trouble with phpMyAdmin as I just query the table, cut the code
that phpMyAdmin tells me was used to create it in the first place, drop the
table and then paste the code back into a new query window.  The problem
with this is that all the data in the tables gets lost.

Is there any way to change the tables from read only and then change them to
MyISAM?
