Subfolder Installation

I’ve just installed W3 Total Cache on a development server but I am a little unsure of if the setup is correct.

My WordPress Core files are in a subfolder with my root directory structure like this:

• .htaccess
• content
• wp
• index.php
• config.php

The wp folder holds the WordPress Core and the content folder is the new wp-content directory.

W3 Total Cache asks me to update the .htaccess file with various settings but the file it references is a .htaccess file within the wp folder not the root directory. This file does not yet exist. Should I create the file or should the content be within the root .htaccess file?

Secondly, I need to create a file w3tc-wp-loader.php within the content/plugins folder but the path the plugin is asking me to add is:

<?php
  if (W3TC_WP_LOADING)
    require_once '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/subs/testing/wp-load.php';

However the wp-load.php file is within the wp folder so the path should be:

<?php
  if (W3TC_WP_LOADING)
    require_once '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/subs/testing/wp/wp-load.php';

If I add the path I believe to be correct the plugin still shows as being incorrectly setup in the Dashboard.

Any advice would be appreciated.
