How to config .htaccess files of CakePHP in WampServer?

Question

I'm absolutely confused about what I must do to run my sample in CakePHP...

I'm using WAMP Server and it is located in "C:/program files/wamp/" and I use another partition for my projects: "E:/Projects/".

there is a folder for Learning CakePHP: "E:/Projects/cakephp/". I've put all the CakePHP extracted contents in that folder (consist of: index.php, .htaccess, readme.txt and folders: app, cake, plugins, vendors)...

First, I set an alias name (test) in Apache that pointed to "E:/Projects/cakephp/", and it didn't work (message: Oops! This link appears to be broken.)

After some search, I found that I must set the alias to another folder: "E:/Projects/cakephp/app/webroot/", and it worked perfectly and showed me the first page of CakePHP Framework.

I solved all the issues in the first page (using the CakePHP manual). I tried to follow CakePHP blog tutorial ... I made a model, a controler and a view page (all related to "posts" subject), but when I try to see the result I just received the first page of WAMP server (showing that there is some problem in the address)

I used the address: "http://localhost/test/posts/index" (that didn't work) then, I tried to put index.php in the url: "http://localhost/test/index.php/posts/index" and it worked!

.htaccess files when I try to reach the root "http://localhost/test/" work perfect, I don't know what's wrong!

xx I found the same question in StackOverflow, here . All of its settings is similar to mine except it seems he set the alias to the root of CakePHP, and it didn't work for me!

and actually I couldn't find how I can use the solution (link) that helped him, because I think it is a little different in my case!

My htaccess files for following cakephp folders are as following,

root of the cakephp

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /test/
    RewriteRule ^$ /app/webroot/ [L]
    RewriteRule (.*) /app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>  

/app

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /test/
    RewriteRule    ^$    webroot/    [L]
    RewriteRule    (.*) webroot/$1    [L]
 </IfModule>

/app/webroot

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /test/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

I hope someone can help me, I'm really exhausted...

thanks in advance for your time and your solutions!
