htaccess Mod rewrite and permalink

Question

I have a WordPress website where the requirement is exactly like below:

• WordPress site should be installed on: http://www.mydomain.com/wp/ |
• Website homepage should be access from: http://www.mydomain.com/ if someone visits http://www.mydomain.com/wp/ he should be redirect to http://www.mydomain.com/

But when accessing all other inner pages, visitors should follow the URL format:

• http://www.mydomain.com/wp/test-page1
• http://www.mydomain.com/wp/test-page1

This means I need the main website access from main domain directly but all other inner pages should open under sub-directory as mentioned above.

how can I do that with .htaccess? Thanks

Please look into this website about htaccess redirects: http://htaccess.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/redirecting-urls-in-htaccess/

Aside from that, you will want to have your RewriteBase to be / and not wp so that the user doesn't go to wp subfolder automatically.
