This is not sufficient. Some files types are recognised by their extension, in auto-mode-alist as you tried, but others are recognized by content, in magic-mode-alist.<br>
<br>
Here is what works for me, in my .emacs [you will need to replace html-helper-mode by web-mode]:<br>
<br>
(setq magic-mode-alist<br>
'(("\`<!DOCTYPE HTML" . html-helper-mode)<br>
("\\(?:<\\?xml\\s +[^>]*>\\)?\\s *<\\(?:!--\\(?:[^-]\\|-[^-]\\)*-->\\s *<\\)*\\(?:!DOCTYPE\\s +[^>]*>\\s *<\\s *\\(?:!--\\(?:[^-]\\|-[^-]\\)*-->\\s *<\\)*\\)?[Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll]" . html-helper-mode)<br>
("<\\?xml " . xml-mode)<br>
("%![^V]" . ps-mode)<br>
("# xmcd " . conf-unix-mode)))<br>
