I have modified configuration as follows; the /xprof location works 
(i.e. I can access non php files), but all php files cannot be accessed 
(message: 404 Not Found). Nothing is recorded in the error log.

Why can't I access the php files in /usr/share/xhprof/xhprof_htmlas 
/xhprof/filename.php ?

Please advise!
