Problematic URL is http://x.x.x.x/folder_name/index.php/css/column.css

Why apache and lighttpd can serve this url passing "/css/column.css" as REQUEST_URI to index.php file.
Both in default configuration (right after clean apt-get installation on debian)

...and nginx is throwing 404 not found error
What rewrite rules or other settings do I have to add/change to achieve the same functionality? (because nginx is really much faster ;-) no doubt about this)
