Hello Richard.

I don't have a config file in front of me right now, but yes - your
problem is in there.

There is an entry for "allowed extensions" or something like that.
You should see those extensions you listed below. I am able to use
aliases by removing all of those extensions, thus making it an empty
array.

Now, whether or not that is the correct/safest way to do it? I don't
know. But I do know it allows me to use aliases. :)
