htaccess for domain and subdomain with laravel

I'm trying to figure out how to set up a domain and subdomain to work on a shared hosting account. It is a Laravel 5.1 application.

My access file is 

Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

I just purchased another domain and added it on, but I get a 500 error. I renamed the access file and then it worked. So it has something to do with the access file. Essentially I want two separate domains with and I'm wanting two separate laravel applications, one for each.

I'm not familiar with atacceess.

Olaf Dietsche's answer does work for me.

Here is another thing I came upon a website that also worked just before I saw his post. I guess I was reading that this would send a 404 to that directory.

Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?main-topdomain.com$ [NC]
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/subdomain-folder/(.*)$
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L,R=404]

So along with this comes another question if anyone is in my boat. I have my subdirectory inside of my root directory.***

dlaugh.com/public_html

laravel folders and access** inluding 

app
bootstrap
config
database
etc...

but also I have my sub folder

    app
    bootstrap
    config
    database
    etc...
    **mysubdomain in that folder**

Is it better practice to put 

-main_domain_folder and
-subdomain_folder
in public_html
and then the
/app
/config
/database

would be in the main_domain_folder rather than passing the subdomain through the main domain?

Maybe, you get a redirect loop, because the rule isn't protected by a condition. Although the default htaccess of Laravel should already contain them.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
