title: Owncloud with an Alias on Nginx
body: <p>I have a Problem with our Nginx configuration, We have Wordpress in our current root directory and i would like to setup owncloud on /owncloud by using a directory outside of our root. I have tried to setup an alias in nginx but i get an "access denied" from nginx or php i'am not sure. 
  My nginx config:</p>
