http://mywebsite.com/category/category-name it give a 404 Not Found
Can any one help with this ?


The second RewriteRule if your htaccess says the URL should be http://mywebsite.com/category-name/category/.
Change your htaccess to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/?$ listenAlbum.php?url=$1
RewriteRule ^category/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/?$ category.php?name=$1

Redirect url without changing the url

I know there are a lot of answers available for this but none of them worked for me. I am stuck with this very familiar issue. I have made a website wherein i have to make customised urls for all my franchisees. But all these customised urls should take back to homepage.
Eg. if franchisee enters following url : www.example.com/franchisee/john it should redirect the franchisee to www.example.com but the browser url should remain www.example.com/franchisee/john
I have tried this by modifying .htaccess file but it shows page not found(404) error. Any help will be appreciable. I am new to .htaccess.
Here is .htaccess code :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/franchisee/[a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [P]
EDIT :
Here is the complete .htaccess file. This file is present under the docroot folder:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl:s]
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/franchisee/[a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-]+$
RewriteRule ^franchisee/[\w.-]+/?$ / [L]
</IfModule>

You don't need to use proxy or P flag here. Use this rule without R flag to silently rewrite to /:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^franchisee/[\w.-]+/?$ / [L]

How do I redirect in .htaccess file without changing URL

I want to redirect several pages to a PHP page with GET variables. However, when I try to use an .htaccess file, it redirects but changes the URL. I don't want it to change the URL structure when redirecting. How would I do this?
For example, I want to redirect /fly-snooze-cruise to http://example.com/package_listing.php?package-type=fly-snooze-cruise
and /fly-snooze-cruise/orlando-airport to http://example.com/package_listing.php?package-type=fly-snooze-cruise&airport=orlando-airport
Here is my .htaccess code:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^fly-snooze-cruise$ http://www.example.com/package_listing.php?package-type=fly-snooze-cruise [L]
RewriteRule ^fly-snooze-cruise/orlando-airport$ http://www.example.com/package_listing.php?package-type=fly-snooze-cruise&airport=orlando-airport [L]
RewriteRule ^fly-snooze-cruise/orlando-sanford-airport$ http://www.example.com/package_listing.php?package-type=fly-snooze-cruise&airport=orlando-sanford-airport [L]
RewriteRule ^fly-snooze-cruise/melbourne-airport$ http://www.example.com/package_listing.php?package-type=fly-snooze-cruise&airport=melbourne-airport [L]
RewriteRule ^snooze-park-cruise$ http://www.example.com/package_listing.php?package-type=snooze-park-cruise [L]

.htaccess redirect not working with index.php of sub directory

I have a directory structure like root/user/confirm/index.php
I want to make redirect like
Redirect this url
http://www.site.com/user/confirm/ASd2sasda4ass
To this
http://www.site.com/user/confirm/index.php?confirm=ASd2sasda4ass
I am trying this way
RewriteRule /user/confirm/([^A-Za-z0-9])$ /user/confirm/index.php?confirm=$1 [L,QSA]
It redirects this url properly
http://www.site.com/user/confirm/index.php/ASd2sasda4ass
To
http://www.site.com/user/confirm/index.php?confirm=ASd2sasda4ass
But not working for this url without index.php
http://www.site.com/user/confirm/ASd2sasda4ass
It shows 404 not found error
Please see and suggest any possible way to do this.
Thanks.
UPDATE
Complete codes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteRule /user/confirm/([^A-Za-z0-9])$ /user/confirm/index.php?confirm=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Try this (without confirm.php in the url. You shouldn't need it anyway):
RewriteRule ^user/confirm/(.*)/? user_confirm.php?confirm=$1 [L]

I solved this issue by removing this rewrite rule from root .htaccess
RewriteRule ^/user/confirm/([^A-Za-z0-9])$ /user/confirm/index.php?confirm=$1 [L,QSA]
And placing another .htaccess file in confirm directory to hide index.php and processing query parameter there with following codes.
Options +FollowSymlinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?confirm=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
And now its working without index.php in url. Hope this helps others too with same issue.

.htaccess redirect to a different subdomain

Please i need help to create a correct instruction in .htaccess to redirect old urls done in this way:
/it/cartelle/465-piquadro-signo-cartella-ca1744si.html
to
/it/valigeria/cartelle/465-piquadro-signo-cartella-ca1744si-ca1744si.html
in other words we have shifted all category cartelle under category valigeria.
Our .htaccess at the moment is:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.it$
RewriteRule . - [E=REWRITEBASE:/]
RewriteRule ^api/?(.*)$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}webservice/dispatcher.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
Anyone can help me?
Thanks

You can try this if you want to redirect to a new URL:
RedirectMatch /it/cartelle/(.*) /it/valigeria/cartelle/$1
If you want to keep the old url and just do an internal redirect:
RewriteRule ^/it/cartelle/(.*)$ /it/valigeria/cartelle/$1 [NC,L]

Having much trouble with mod_rewrite

I'm having some problems in my .htaccess file.
I would like to display the content of this URL:
http://mywebsite.com/admin/payments/invoices/view/index.php?id=123456
When I access this one:
http://mywebsite.com/admin/payments/invoices/view/123456/
Here's my actual .htaccess
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /admin/payments/invoices/
RewriteRule ^/view/([0-9]+)/(index.php)?$ /view/index.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
Do you have any idea?
Thanks!

If you do have the view directory, then the easiest thing is to put this .htaccess in that directory (i.e. {DOCUMENT_ROOT}/admin/payments/invoices/view/.htaccess):
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /admin/payments/invoices/view
RewriteRule ^(\d+)$ index.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
The index.php in the left side hand of the RewriteRule is not required (actually, I expect it not to work: the DirectoryIndex should not yet have been injected in the URI at this stage - unless some other RewriteRule is in effect?), nor is the / at the end of the RewriteBase.
I tested the above on Apache/2.2.21, but the module rules are the same for later versions.

Try this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^.*admin/payments/invoices/view/index\.php\?id=([0-9]+) admin/payments/invoices/view/$1/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Try putting this in the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)id=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^admin/payments/invoices/view/index\.php$ /admin/payments/invoices/view/%1/index.php [L]
So when you enter http://mywebsite.com/admin/payments/invoices/view/index.php?id=123456 in your browser's URL address bar, you will get served the content at /admin/payments/invoices/view/123456/index.php. Since it's completely unclear what you actually want, in case you wanted it the other way around:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^admin/payments/invoices/view/([0-9]+)/(index.php)?$ /admin/payments/invoices/view/index.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
