What am I doing wrong? Why will the following open the file test.php which is in my main dir correctly on the server side but not on my localhost?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(contact)$ /test\.php?view=$1 [QSA,L]
As result on the server side I get the following page displayed: example.com/contact
On localhost, this is opening a kind of Wamp server tree, since I'm using Wamp. Other redirections are working well e.g.
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ /index\.php [QSA,L]
Does someone know what is causing this to happen?

Change your rule to this:
RewriteRule ^(contact)/?$ test.php?view=$1 [QSA,L,NC]
and retest.
This will rewrite contact
to test.php
in same directory where your .htaccess is kept. Your rule is rewriting same request to test.php
on site root due to leading /
in target URI.
/?$
on pattern makes trailing slash optional in request URI.
