That would would seem to indicate you need htaccess sending the domain to index.php to start WordPress:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

I followed the wp-config.php steps and set up my own directory with a username and password, too.
wp-config would have nothing to do with password protection of a directory. That info is about the SQL database name, user and password at the server.
Thanks for the reply.
So I added the .htaccess file.. do I leave it in the /Web sub directory that the index.html file is being pulled from? Then just dump the WordPress files into that same directory? I did that and I am getting an internal server error.
I will do what I can to try to help, but I have no experience with sub-domains with your type of URL.
Here is your Primary Domain: ‘http://www.whois.com/whois/cltv8.com’.
That means ‘vandykegroup.’ is a sub-domain.
The htaccess I posted should be in the folder containing ‘cltv8.com’. Then if ‘vandykegroup’ is the foldername for your sub-domain located within the folder for your Primary Domain, the ‘vandykegroup’ htaccess would be this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /vandykegroup/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
edit: I should have noticed that difference earlier, so please forgive me there. Also, you might have some database updating to do for the sub-domain.
