    Hi

    I have been struggle to understand how to do simple redirection using .htaccess. Always ended up incorrect redirection and site becomes unusable. My website structure is this way, main site files are uploaded under htpp://domain.com/wp

    By default I need to get http://domain.com transfers to http://domain.com/wp. I could have used meta redirection if user enters http://domain.com but how do i set this up using .htaccess?

    These are the codes that seem not properly work the way I want.
    Redirect / http://domain.com/wp

    Redirect / http://domain.com/wp/

    Redirect / /wp

    Any ideas?

    Not 100% sure and I don't have time to test but I think this will do it:
    Redirect permanent / http://domain.com/wp

    You can't use Redirect to rewrite to something above the DocumentRoot, as it's a catch-all. So if you use the last example there, requests for /wp will be redirected to /wp/wp. You'll need to either create a page in the DocumentRoot with a meta redirect, or use mod_rewrite. The first is the simplest route.
