In case anyone needs to setup Simple Groupware  
[http://www.simple-groupware.de/](http://www.simple-groupware.de/) (it is a web-based groupware that  
offers email, calendaring, contacts, tasks, document management,  
project management, synchronization with Outlook and cell phones,  
full-text search, extensions, etc),  
using Debian 6 / Ubuntu 11.10 and Nginx 1.1.12,

here is the config file provided by Simple Groupware’s leader & main  
developer:

(ED: it works, but it must be one of the ugliest Nginx config files that  
we have seen)
