.htaccess block sub domain root but still have access from another domain in a different directory

I hope someone could advise this is a probably is a easy question but my knowledge of .htaccess is limited.

I have inherited a odd file structure that has dependancies on files from a previous install.

Below is a spseudo file structure which mirrors what I have on a sub-domain. 

+site-directory
    index.html
    file.php
    another-file.php
   + other-folder
    display.php

The sub domain site directory is: 

/site-directory

I want to access the sub domain from the main domain from the following url: 

/site-directory/other-folder/display.php

the problem I am having is if you put www.subdomainurl.com in the browser the previous install is displayed.

How can I stop this and only access the sub doamin via 

 /site-directory/other-folder/display.php

I have blocked indexing from robots.txt

What would be best practices for this situation?

Thanks in advance

Question is not very clear to me, so my answer is based on some assumptions.

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?subdomainurl\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /other-folder/display.php [R=302,L]
