+Nginx don't understand the .htaccess, which is shipped with owncloud.
+So some rewrites, required by the webdav implementation, aren't applied.
+To get owncloud running, some additional options are necessary:
+
+``` nginx nginx.conf
+upstream backend {
+      unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock; # <--- edit me
+}
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    ##If you want ssl, which I strongly recommend
+    # listen 443 ssl;
+    # ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/nginx/nginx.crt;
+    # ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/nginx/nginx.key;
+
+    server_name cloud.site.com; # <--- edit me
+    root /var/web/MyOwncloud;   # <--- edit me
+
+    access_log /var/log/nginx/cloud.access_log main;
+    error_log /var/log/nginx/cloud.error_log info;
+
+    location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|ico|png|css|js|swf)$ {
+      expires 30d;
+      access_log off;
+    }
+
+    location / {
+      # these line replace the rewrite made in owncloud .htaccess
+      try_files $uri $uri/ @webdav;
+    }
+
+    location @webdav {
+      include fastcgi_params;
+      fastcgi_pass backend;
+      fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
+      fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
+    }
+
+    location ~ .php$ {
+      include fastcgi_params;
+      fastcgi_pass backend;
+      fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
+      fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Additionally I added these lines to the default */etc/nginx/fastcgi_params*:
+
+``` nginx
+fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO          $fastcgi_path_info;
+fastcgi_param  PATH_TRANSLATED    $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
+```
+
+So it does looks like this:
+
+
+``` nginx /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params
+fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO          $fastcgi_path_info;
+fastcgi_param  PATH_TRANSLATED    $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
+
+fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
+fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
+fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
+fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;
+
+fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
+fastcgi_param  REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
+fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_URI       $document_uri;
+fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
+fastcgi_param  SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;
+fastcgi_param  HTTPS              $https if_not_empty;
+
+fastcgi_param  GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
+fastcgi_param  SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx/$nginx_version;
+
+fastcgi_param  REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
+fastcgi_param  REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
+fastcgi_param  SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
+fastcgi_param  SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
+fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;
+
+# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
+fastcgi_param  REDIRECT_STATUS    200;
+```
