RealURL not working anymore after switching to HTTPS

Question

I have switched a website (Typo3 8.7.20, RealURL 2.4.0) to HTTPS. Since then, URLS (eg /en or /service) are resulting in 404 errors. When RealURL is off, everything works fine. RealURL is in autoconfiguration and has worked flawlessly.

This is part of the setup relevant:

config {
  prefixLocalAnchors = all
  doctype = xhtml_trans
  baseURL =
  absRefPrefix = auto
  absRelPath = /
  tx_realurl_enable = 1
  prefixLocalAnchors = all

I have already deleted all caches, the RealURL configuration (to re-generate) and even uninstalled the extension and db tables and re-installed.

Any ideas?

Just a shot in the dark maybe on your https vhost apache configuration is missing the AllowOverride Configuration for the ssl vhost.

In this case the .htaccess file will not be parsed and the nessesary rewrite rules for realurl will not be executed.
