Hi there,

Following up on this [issue on Github](https://github.com/roots/bedrock/issues/180), I’m trying to achieve @Foxaii’s following solution:

```
├── bedrock # Config folder with .env above the web root and is only accessible on the server.
├── subdomain_bedrock # Subdomain config folder
└── public_html # public_html becomes your web folder and is moved outside the bedrock config.
       └─ subdomain # subdomain becomes your web folder for the subdomain_bedrock config.
```

I’m on a shared webhosting environment with access above the web root (public\_html). In the web root live 3 wordpress installs (1 without own directory, 1 with and my Bedrock one) and I created a subfolder **[staging.mydomain.com](http://staging.mydomain.com)** for my Bedrock install.

Above the web root I uploaded my **.env** file & **config** and **vendor** folders:

```
├── .env
├── config
├── vendor
└── public_html
       ├─ wp-admin, wp-content etc.. from otherdomain.com
       ├─ someotherdomain.com
       └─ staging.mydomain.com
              ├─ .htaccess
              ├─ app
              ├─ wp
              ├─ index.html # for testing subdomain
              ├─ index.php
              └─ wp-config.php
```

In my . **env** file:

```
WP_HOME=http://staging.mydomain.com
WP_SITEURL=http://staging.mydomain.com/wp
```

In my **config/application.php** :

```
$webroot_dir = $root_dir . '/public_html/staging.mydomain.com';
```

In my **wp-config.php** :

```
$bedrock = realpath(dirname( __DIR__ ) . '/..');
require_once($bedrock . '/vendor/autoload.php');
require_once($bedrock . '/config/application.php');
```

The above setup results in a **500** error.  
The subdomain is setup correctly on my host because the **index.html** works.  
The PHP version is 5.5.

What am I missing here? Any help is appreciated!  
Thanks

Ah I found it!

In this file: **vendor/composer/autoload\_classmap.php** were old references to:  
`/web/app/` instead of `/public_html/staging.mydomain.com/app`
