I've seen this issue before but all I had to do to fix it is to setup mod_rewrite to redirect https://rtserver.example.com/rt to https://rtserver.example.com/rt/

I have changed all references in RT_SiteConfig and Apache config from
the commonly used DNS alias (estates) to the DNS entry that comes up
when performing an IP lookup. So far I have not experiecned any Page
Cannot be found errors. I will keep you updated.
So for others in a simiilar situation, try 'nslookup <server IP>' to
find out what your default DNS domain name is and use that in the
config rather than a DNS alias.
