OK, I tried both switches -m (MD5) and -s (SHA) and I wasn't able to log in. The log file shows "password mismatch". The only method that works is DES (htpasswd without any switch). Do I have to install some additional module or so?

I had the default location for php "location ~ \.php$" and when I changed to "location = /index.php" all none existing pages are redirected to Joomla error page - which is great however "index.html" still shows Nginx error page (index.htm shows Joomla error page) - I'm very close. I also noticed that now when I access some directories the web browser is trying to downland files.
