Joomla CMS on Nginx (Rewrite/Environment Problem)

[mailinglisten at simonhoenscheid.de]

Hello List,

I did a testmigration of a Joomla CMS yesterday, and there is a bug (the 
system was running on Apache before):
There where no Apache rewrite rules on the old server.
The Joomla Uses SEF (Search Engine Friendly URLs)

OLD:

http://www.example.com/pattern/article.html

NEW:

http://www.example.com/var/www/www.example.com/pattern/article

The missing .html suffix is not a prob but the whole rootpath in the url 
is. Any ideas how to solve this?

here is my server.conf for this host:

   server_name www.example.com example.com.com;
   server_name_in_redirect off;
   access_log /var/log/nginx/www.example.com-access.log combined;
   error_log /var/log/nginx/www.example.com-error.log notice;
   root /var/www/www.example.com;
   location / {
     try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
   }


location ~* \.php$ {
   fastcgi_index   index.php;
   fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
   include         fastcgi_params;
   fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
   fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_NAME        $request_filename;
   }
}

Thanks for your help
Simon
