Hi,
I have installed drupal on my website root at
http://www.example.org

I had another application running at
http://subdomain.example.org

I had two more php applications running at:
http://www.example.org/acc
and
http://www.example.org/alu

Now after that I have installed drupal, neither my subdomain applications nor my other applications are accessible, everytime I try to access them, i get the Drupal Page Not Found error. Why is this that drupal takes control of the whole folders and subdomains, this is causing me intensive problems, what should i do to keep the drupal installation as well as continue to access my previous folders/applications?

I installed drupal on a subdomain on my server, and just redirected hits to my domain's root to the subdirectory where drupal was installed.

I don't know why it would interfere with subdomains, and I think if there's a folder, drupal should allow the browser to reach the folder. You might take a look at the .htaccess file.

.htaccess will affect all the subfolders, so if you have a non-Drupal application in Drupal's subfolder, you must create another .htaccess that overrides Drupal's settings, especially with regards to 404 handling and rewrite engine.
