i could use a little help with rewrite and nginx... Basically the structure of my App looks like this

Headdirectory --
           -APPBase
           -SomeMoreStuff
           -WWWDirectory
           .htaccess

So i need to redirect into the WWWDirectory when i open the Headdirectory. In Apache its done with a htaccess and the following Content :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*) www/$1

I already tried in Nginx :

location /Headdirectory {    
rewrite ^/(.*) /www/$1;
      }

And i tried to create an Alias but that didnt work...

Would be nice if someone could help me out.

Have a nice Day
