I have an application written in Symfony 3 that I want to publish in a subdomain. The application is currently hosted on locaweb.
My main site is this: example.com
The goal is to create a subdomain specific to this application, so it looks like: symfony .example.com.
From the hosting panel I can easily create subdomains, but they are obligatorily inside the public_html folder. This way, even though I create a subdomain, the folder is still accessible through the main site.
For example:
The main site is named example.com that points to the public_html /
The subdomain is named synfony.example.com that points to the public_html / other_project folder.
How can I ensure that even though it's in a subfolder, the content of the application is not accessible? I thought I'd create some htaccess rule for this, but I'm not sure how to make it run on the main site and be ignored on the subsite.
