[Typo3] Solution: RealURL and 404 error pages

Hi Christian,

here is my current configuration for the RealURL Extension and a short
explanation how I realized it.

Description from Typo3:
'pageNotFound_handling' => '',			// How TYPO3 should handle requests for
non-existing/accessible pages. false (default): The 'nearest' page is
shown. TRUE or '1': An TYPO3 error box is displayed. Integer > 1: Not
used yet. Strings: redirect URL, eg. 'notfound.html' or
'http://www.domain.org/errors/notfound.html'.

'pageNotFound_handling_statheader' => 'Status: 404 Not Found',			// If
'pageNotFound_handling' is enabled, this string will always be sent as
header before the actual handling.
		
Maybe it helps if you only modify the 404 header from
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["FE"]['pageNotFound_handling_statheader'] = 'HTTP/1.0
404 Not
Found';
to either
a) $TYPO3_CONF_VARS["FE"]['pageNotFound_handling_statheader'] = 'Status:
404 Not Found';
or b) $TYPO3_CONF_VARS["FE"]['pageNotFound_handling_statheader'] =
'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found';

Detailed description how I did it:
Step 1:
Add the following lines to the Typo3Script Setup code (found at the
menu->Templates). Maybe you need to insert the lines without the preceding
page. depending on your configuration:

# activate RealURL
page.config.simulateStaticDocuments = 0
# Change the following line as needed
page.config.baseURL = http://www.tectrend.de
page.config.tx_realurl_enable = 1
page.config.prefixLocalAnchors = all

Step 2:
Overwrite the ext_localconf.php of the ReadlURL plugin (found at
typo3conf/ext/realurl/) from the bottom.

Step 3:
Turn on the .htaccess in the base/main directory of your installation
and follow the instructions.

Step 4:
Double check if the redirection module of your apache webserver works and
also .htaccess files are allowed and parsed.

I hope I didn't forget anything. Good luck.

Regards,
Jens
