If the UID of the page is "123" but its name is for example "Company"
you should rather get a link like "/company/" ... cause normally realURL
tries to insert the title of the linked page instead of the UID (thats why
it is called realURL :) -- but probably that changed since realURL supports
autoConfiguration (I didn't try that yet).

In the .htaccess of you web-root (where the fileadmin, typo3, typo3conf
directories reside) you should have the lines:
------------------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule
^(typo3|typo3temp|typo3conf|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|uploads|showpic\.php)/
- [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3$ typo3/index_re.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
------------------

In "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/004-www.my_site_url.com
(Name may vary) - in fact you have to modify the apache-config file for
the domain
you are going to configure ...

In this file you will find something like:
---------------------
<Directory /var/www/html>
  Options ExecCGI -Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>
--------------

where /var/www/html is the webroot of your site - if you don't have such
a block you
can simply add it there ...

you can try around with the options - I would suggest using
"-Indexes" ... not allowing to see all files in directory
"FollowSymLinks" ... required for T3

the rest is optional. but don't forget the "AllowOverride All" like
Dmitry wrote ...

and please note that normally you have to visit the page first - so all
realURL links
get generated and stored in cache - and only then you will be able to
call a link directly
by entering the URL into the browser URL line ....

so it isn't possible in all cases to enter a realURL link into the
browser URL line and hope
for it to work ... AFAIR it works in some cases but not in all.

the thing is just that realURL a link to a page must get generated (by
some other page)
before the link can get called.
