[TYPO3] realURL only loads root page

[Adam Harvie]

Ok, after some more experimentation, it seems that the problem lies in 
the server configuration somehow. I tried setting up a super basic T3 
install on another host, and without any messing about got the realURL 
plugin to work. I'm going to contact the provider and see whether we can 
solve the problem. I had some more questions for anyone who knows:

-does realURL in any way depend on symlinks? I know that these are 
disabled on this host, and it was causing problems when I was initially 
installing.

-it seems that the URLs are being successfully encoded, and I know the 
decode function is being called in the extension (inserting some hack 
debug 'echo' commands shows this), but seems to be fed blank path 
information, hence defaulting to the root. I noticed that the apache 
config for realURL does not feed the path information back into the 
redirected URL, the way I've seen it done on other CMS systems e.g:

RewriteRule (.*) index.php?path=$1

or somesuch. Does anyone know how the path information is passed through 
when the URL is rewritten?

Thanks for the help so far.

-Adam
