[Typo3] typo3, realurl and 404

[Miroslav Monkevic]

Hi Pawel,

This morning I fixed similar behavior by setting   
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['realurl']['_DEFAULT']['init']['respectSimulateStaticURLs'] 
=> 0.

If this is not your case I would suggest to swap realurl config to 
something basic like below to find out if realurl has something to do 
with it. (Don't forget to clear configuration cache :)

//RealURL configuration
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXTCONF']['realurl']['_DEFAULT'] = array(
    'init' => array(
        'enableCHashCache' => 1,
        'enableUrlDecodeCache' => 1,
        'enableUrlEncodeHash' => 1,
        ),
    'rewrite' => array(
        ),
    'preVars' => array(
        ),
    'pagePath' => array(
         'type' => 'user',
        'userFunc' => 
'EXT:realurl/class.tx_realurl_advanced.php:&tx_realurl_advanced->main',
        'spaceCharacter' => '-',
        'languageGetVar' => 'L',
        'expireDays' => 3
        ),
    'fileName' => array (
        'index' => array(
            'page.html' => array(
                'keyValues' => array (
                    'type' => 1,
                        ),
                ),
            ),
        'print.html' => array(
            'keyValues' => array (
                'type' => 98,
                ),
            ),
        ),
    'fixedPostVarSets' => array(
        ),
    'postVarSets' => array(
        '_DEFAULT' => array(
             ),
        ),
    );
