Doesnt work? really? working fine on my end, tested with a WIndows Servers and Linux Servers.

only thing is if the first parameter has upper case letters it wont work so add A-Z to the.... never mind  ok copy paste this patch

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)$ index.php?category=$1&mykey=$2


This will check for lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers and the hyphen. if there are any other characters it will fail so you
can add others as appropriate

Let me know if this helps

Hi skunks,
i have been struggling on how to create a rewrite rule for this link on the htaccess file on my root folder anyone out there has a clue? Ive been to many online rewrite rule sir\tes where i feed this link and the resultant rule is simply not picked up by the mod_rewirite apache module.
 
http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?category=mycategory&mykey=mykey
