This is not necessary any more. Realurl comes with autoconfiguration, it could generate optimal configuration for you.

Firsts, check if realurl generates links. Put a sitemap element on the home page and see what URLs you get. If you get /index.php?id=123, then realurl is not working. If you get /123/, it is working at least partially.

Assuming that it is works, check if rewriting works correctly. Check what is the value of AllowOverride in web server configuration file for the directory of your site. If you cannot find value, set it to "All" (without quotes). If it is set incorrectly, rewrite directives will be silently ignored and you will get 404. Restart web server and see if you still get 404. If yes, activate rewrite log for this site using RewriteLog directive in virtual host configuration (this directive does not work from .htaccess). Set debugging level to maximum. Click on the realurl-ed link and check rewrite logs. What do they show?
