.htaccess - url RewriteEngine not working as expected

Question

I am tring to convert:

http://localhost/mysite/blog.php?slug=post-by-paritosh

To :

http://localhost/mysite/blog/post-by-paritosh

For that I am using .htaccess file with below rules

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?blog/(.*?)/?$ /blog.php?slug=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /blog.php?slug=([^& ]+)
RewriteRule ^/?blog.php$ /blog/%1? [L,R=301]

After checking syntax on http://www.htaccesscheck.com/ I found that it is ok but the rewrite are not working as expected.

You may try this .htaccess inside tgconnectmediaservice/ directory:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} s/+(tgconnectmediaservice/blog).php?slug=([^&s]+)s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2? [L,R=301,NE]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?blog/([^/]+)/?$ blog.php?slug=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
