403 Forbidden due to Nginx

[kidsinhalf]

First of all, thanks for having liberated affiliatesforall.
Actually, it is the first time I meet an installation problem with this module for a magento solution.

The problem is simply that the folder /afa/ gives a 403 Forbidden error page.
If I try /afa/public/ the I can see the login page but it is not designed and the forms don't work.

Naturally, I tried to modify the htaccess in the /afa/ folder.

i have identified that if a folder is empty, it always shows the 403. So I suspect the root htaccess to rule the /afa/ htaccess.

This htaccess is the original embedded with magento pack.

So I think it is not a problem in affiliatesforall scripts. But maybe somebody has solved the problem.

Ok, I have not yet solved the problem but I discovered why it doesn't work.
In fact, the servor is not Apache but Ningx. So the .htaccess files don't work at all...

Unfortunately, I have no idea how ningx is customable...

Any idea
