[TYPO3-english] RealUrl rewrite gives 404 page not found

Hi,

for realUrl it would be better to have two completely different sites,
where page-names of both sites never have a same name at all.
These things you've todo:

   - assign  a different (sub-) domain for each site
   - setup realUrl like described in the manual with baseUrl in the general
   config-area etc.
   - set for both sites the domainRoot like described in the manual
   - Insert domain-records in the sites that Typo3 delivers the right site
   for each domain.

I've my doubts that you get it running without two different domains while
keeping the site-names and NEVER assigning any aliases, I suppose it's just
impossible.

Furthermore it could be required that you setup each domain separated in
the config-file of realUrl - there you've to setup the domainRoots anyway.

I never looked up any names of variables and names for
configuration-parameters. If you never find what I wrote, search by meaning
and not by writing.

Forget about anything like CNAME or other domain/server settings, realUrl
just never has enough data to deliver different pages with the same names,
therefore you just have to configure two different branches, each with an
own domain.
