Cannot create directory alias (with php pages)

[Nikolaos Milas]

Hello,

I have a hard time trying to make a "directory alias" (in Apache 
terminology - sorry, I still have a lot to learn on nginx)...

I have piwik.example.com, configured to run piwik analytics (it is a php 
site), and it works fine.

I runs under nginx v1.6.1, php-fpm v5.3.3 on an updated CentOS 6.5 64bit 
VPS.

Now, I want to create an /xhprof location, which includes php code and 
lives in another disk path (in: /usr/share/xhprof/xhprof_html). I can't 
make this work...

I have tried multiple possible solutions, googled around, but it just 
won't work.

Follows the attempted config. In this, calling 
http://piwik.example.com/xhprof or 
http://piwik.example.com/xhprof/index.php returns "404 Not Found".

The error log shows: "rewrite or internal redirection cycle while 
internally redirecting to "/xhprof".

server {

    listen [::]:80;

    server_name  piwik.example.com;
    access_log  /var/webs/wwwpiwik/log/access_log main;
    error_log /var/webs/wwwpiwik/log/error_log warn;
    root   /var/webs/wwwpiwik/www/;

    index  index.php index.html index.htm index.cgi default.html 
default.htm default.php;

    location / {
       try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
       allow 127.0.0.1;
       allow ::1;
allow 10.10.10.0/24;
       deny all;
    }

    location /xhprof {

       alias /usr/share/xhprof/xhprof_html;

       try_files $uri $uri/ /xhprof$is_args$args;

       allow 127.0.0.1;
       allow ::1;
allow 10.10.10.0/24;
       deny all;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {

       allow 127.0.0.1;
       allow ::1;
allow 10.10.10.0/24;

       fastcgi_cache off;

       try_files $uri =404;
       include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
       fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;

        fastcgi_intercept_errors on;

        fastcgi_buffer_size 384k;
        fastcgi_buffers 256 16k;
        fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 384k;
        fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 384k;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 240;

        fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-fpm.sock;

        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

    }

}

I appreciate your help in correcting the /xhprof definition, in order to 
make it work...

I also

Thanks in advance,
Nick
