Thanks again!

I finally did the following which seems to work just fine:

location ~ /myapp/(.*) {
     root /home/stelios/myapp;
     set $args u=/$1&$args;
     try_files /$1 @fallback;
}
location @fallback {
     root /home/stelios/myapp;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php;
}

The "set $args ..." directive augments the QUERY_STRING with the
original uri that is kept to the subsequent fastcgi call.

Best regards
