Hi Andreas,

Take a look at this example configuration:
http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxRubyonRailsMongrel

The important pieces there are the root directive: "root
/var/www/apps/example/current/public;"
And the if statements:
      if (-f $request_filename/index.html) {
        rewrite (.*) $1/index.html break;
      }

You'll want to set your root to
"/document_root/typo3temp/some_typo3_extension/www.example.com" and
include an if statement like the one above.

If you can't get this working, please provide your nginx.conf file so
others can assist you more easily.
