Store this .htaccess to http://127.1.1.1/mysite/.htaccess :

RewriteEngine on /mysite/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ username/$1 [r=301,L]

http://127.1.1.1/mysite/admin -> http://127.1.1.1/mysite/username/admin http://127.1.1.1/mysite/admin.php?some=value -> http://127.1.1.1/mysite/username/admin.php?some=value

username.php

RewriteEngine on /mysite/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ username.php?requested-file=$1 [r=301,L]

http://127.1.1.1/mysite/admin -> http://127.1.1.1/mysite/username.php?requested-file=admin
