.htaccess - works only with index.php/ not with /

Question

I have an test project in sub directory (G:/wamp/www/test) which has only index.php and .htaccess

I tried to make friendly urls by adding RewriteRule to .htaccess like this:

RewriteEngine on

DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^/*$ index.php

This worked on all other projects but it is not working on this one. When I want to access an URL like this:

http://localhost/test/TESTING_URL I am getting default 404 Not Found page. However, if I go like this: http://localhost/test/index.php/TESTING_URL - it works.

Apache error log is giving me the following error:

File does not exist: G:/wamp/www/test/TESTING_URL

The following worked for me:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /test/

DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/*$ index.php

Make sure that this .htaccess file is in the directory test and that there aren't any conflicting rewrite rules in any .htaccess file at a higher level.

Otherwise the only difference is the addition of the RewriteBase line.

Still the same thing happens

I'm sorry, I realize now that you are in a subdirectory, the rewritebase should refer to that subdirectory. Additional comments added in the answer body.

Well, you see, I have moved .htaccess file from subdir to root dir (www) and it works good but I also tried removing it from root and adding your code into subdir, it doesn't work.
