Ah yes, that helped. Thanks.

However, I found another issue which is somewhat confusing, and I can't figure 
out what I'm doing wrong.

In /home/w/www.foo.com I have a link file to a wiki that resides in another 
place in the directory structure.  /home/w/www.foo.com/wiki points to -> 
/usr/local/www/wiki like this:

root at www [/home/w/www.foo.com] ls -l
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  -  512B Jun 16 22:13 bar/
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  -   20B Jun 16 21:24 index.php
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  -   23B Jun 16 21:22 wiki@ -> /usr/local/www/wiki

Accessing http://www.foo.com/wiki in my browser should bring me to the front 
page (index.php) on the wiki, and yes it does.  It doesn't load any images or 
css-files however.

I checked the logs, and found loads of entries like this one:

2009/06/17 19:30:06 [error] 38435#0: *52 open() 
"/home/w/www.foo.com/lib/tpl/default/images/button-css.png" failed (2: No such 
file or directory), client: 1.2.3.4, server: www.foo.com, request: "GET 
/lib/tpl/default/images/button-css.png HTTP/1.1", host: "www.foo.com", 
referrer: "http://www.foo.com/wiki/index.php"

It looks like it's looking for the files in the wrong place?

I tested the same wiki in a vanilla configuration of nginx, where I just set 
www.foo.com as server_name etc, and there it works.  The directory structure 
is the same.
