setting up nginx with mongrel_cluster: 403 Forbidden

[Lena Herrmann]

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy a Rails application on FreeBSD 7.0 with
mongrel_cluster and nginx/0.5.35.

On ports 8000 and 8001 the application runs fine. But on port 80 nginx
returns "403 Forbidden". The according line from the logfile:

2008/03/24 11:44:54 [error] 2898#0: *4 directory index of
"/var/www/apps/myapp/current/public/" is forbidden, client:
91.41.111.73, server: myapp.net, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host:
"myapp.net"

The whole deployment directory belongs to user deploy and is read- and
writable.

If someone could point me in a direction of what I might have missed,
this would be great!

my nginx.conf :
