RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /test/rest/
# map neat URL to internal URL
RewriteRule ^/test/rest/mobile/list/$   /test/rest/RestController.php?view=all [nc,qsa]
RewriteRule ^/test/rest/mobile/list/([0-9]+)/$   /test/rest/RestController.php?view=single&id=$1 [nc,qsa]

Answer 1

The problem is with the pattern, because there is no leading slash, see Per-directory Rewrites

Per-directory Rewrites

• ...
• The removed prefix always ends with a slash, meaning the matching occurs against a string which never has a leading slash. Therefore, a Pattern with ^/ never matches in per-directory context.

So to fix this remove the leading slash in your patterns

RewriteRule ^test/rest/mobile/list/$ /test/rest/RestController.php?view=all [NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^test/rest/mobile/list/([0-9]+)/$ /test/rest/RestController.php?view=single&id=$1 [NC,QSA]

Unrelated, but you don't need RewriteBase in this case, because you already use absolute substitution URLs.

Also, QSA|qsappend is only needed, if you expect that the requests have a query string.
