    Well no this does not explain your situation at all.

    Basically if you make a subdomain then there should be a mount point created for that sub domain as well.

    This location is set by YOU.

    So in my case I run a web hosting company, I allow my users to create the main domain.

    Then each subdomain that is created is made as such

    / == home dir

    /htdocs/ == www accesible for main domain.
    /cgi-bin/ == www scripts
    /logs/ == weblogs
    /backups/ == nightly backups

    They create a subdomain called test so now i have:

    /htdocs/ /cgi-bin/ logs/ backups/ /test/

    Under test I have:

    /htdocs/
    /cgi-bin/

    The files belong in /test/htdocs/ if they are going to be public www files for that domain.

    Does this make sense?
