Can't locate object method "session" via package "HTML::Mason::Request::ApacheHandler"

["Darragh Gammell" <suppressed>]

Hi

My apologies if this is the second instance this query. I sent the same mail 3 days ago but have not seen it appear on the mailing list....so here goes again.

Ive recently tried moving a website from an old server which is having hardware issues to a recently purchased server.

Old Server ran:
Linux 2.6.11-1-686-smp #1 SMP Mon Jun 20 20:18:45 MDT 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
Mason 1.21
mod_perl
and apache 1.3


I'm now trying to get the same website running on:

Ubuntu gutsy Linux 2.6.22-14-server
Mason 1.37
Apache2
mod_perl2

Highlights for the apache2 
hhtpd.conf

:

PerlModule HTML::Mason
PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
PerlModule Apache2::Request
PerlModule Apache::DBI

and the vhost:
 
PerlRequire /etc/apache2/handler.pl

        <Directory "/home/mac/public_html">
                #Options -Indexes
                #HTML::Mason handles any .html files
                <FilesMatch "\.html">
                        SetHandler perl-script
                        PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
                </FilesMatch>
                # Deny .comp files from being accessed directly
        </Directory>

        <FilesMatch "\.mc|autohandler|dhandler">
                SetHandler perl-script
                PerlInitHandler Apache2::Const::NOT_FOUND
        </FilesMatch>




Im getting this error in the browser however:

Thanks in advance
