Depends on your knowledge level before starting with TYPO3.

It's all very well documented, and there is several configuration guides 
with "standard" configuration.
Here's one [1]. Here's another [2].
But your right. RealURL can be difficult. It's a VERY nice extension, which 
has many features, and can be adjusted in many ways. That's why you should 
maybe shoot for something less, unless your ready to spend some hours 
reading.

TYPO3 is a comprehensive system. Pretty much everything is configurable. 
This means that learning everything of TYPO3 is not done in a week or two, 
which I after reading many of your posts tend to believe you think it should 
be. If you think that you'll be a TYPO3 supahmaster within the next couple 
of months, then stop dreaming. It's not like that. But in one year or so (if 
your still around) your happy that you did stick in.

I also tend to think that you don't read much, but type a lot - this in the 
amount of post in this group.
At least one friendly person has kindly asked you to READ the guidelines for 
using these newsgroups and made a pretty clear hint about you changing your 
sender name to your real name. Not doing that, makes me pretty sure that you 
won't be getting many replies to your posts.

The time I spend on replying to you, could have been used better. I could 
have made guides for RealURL or another extension or something else.
Your question has been answered many times, even though it's all in the 
manual, so try searching the archives [3] before posting away.
Finally [4] is a link someone has given you before. In hopes that you would 
read it this time.

Also, could you please adjust your computer clock. It's about 12 hours in 
front, and that makes your topic stay in top and also the online go rather 
nuts.

Now start reading ;)
