I've trouble to get aliases working correctly on nginx. When i try to access the aliases, /pma and /mba (see secure.example.com.conf), i get a 403 Forbidden but the base url works correctly.

I read a lot of posts but nothing helped, so here i am.

Nginx and php-fpm are running as www-data:www-data and the permissions for the directories are set to:

drwxrwsr-x+  5 www-data www-data 4.0K Dec  5 22:48 ./
drwxr-xr-x.  3 root     root     4.0K Dec  4 22:50 ../
drwxrwsr-x+  2 www-data www-data 4.0K Dec  5 13:10 mda.example.com/
drwxrwsr-x+ 11 www-data www-data 4.0K Dec  5 10:34 pma.example.com/
drwxrwsr-x+  3 www-data www-data 4.0K Dec  5 11:49 www.example.com/
lrwxrwxrwx.  1 www-data www-data   18 Dec  5 09:56 secure.example.com -> www.example.com/

Im sorry for the bulk, but i thought better too much than too little.

Here are the configuration files:

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Thanks in advance!
