Apache Rewrite Rule gives 404 Paypal IPN Redirection

I have been trying to get a rewrite rule working to redirect my old paypal IPN URL to my new one, I have tried the following in the .htaccess file and cant seem to get it to work, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

   # BEGIN PayPal Fix
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule ^/wc-api/WC_Gateway_Paypal/ 
   ^/hosting/modules/gateways/callback/paypal.php [R=307,L]
   </IfModule>
   END PayPal Fix

Another thread on stackoverflow about a similar issue: Change the IPN url on existing subscription See jon G's post about his rewrite, that is exactly what im trying to accomplish!

Thank you for any and all guidance!

There seem to be some problems with your rewrite rule.

The minor problem is that it is unusual to write such a rule in two lines. In fact, I am not sure if this is allowed in the form you use; I would expect that there would have to be at least a line continuation character. So I would put the rule into a single line first.

But the main problem is in the target of your rewrite rule. While the first part of a rewrite rule is a search pattern (regular expression), the second part (target) isn't, so you should leave away the leading ^.

Your rule then should look like this:

RewriteRule ^/wc-api/WC_Gateway_Paypal/ /hosting/modules/gateways/callback/paypal.php [R=307,L]

But I am wondering why there is no script name in your search pattern. Do you really want to map a directory to a script? Or does WC_Gateway_Paypal just appear as directory, but in fact already is mapped to a script by a rewrite rule which is evaluated before?
