you would need to find the real path of your root directory while on the
main domain, and then use it while on the subdomain


ie, on root it might be something like (use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to get
the value)

/var/home/websitename/public_html/

just use that document root you get from the main domain and it should work.

hope this helps
