My website has been active for a while.  
As the topic says, my php/msql site is on a DigitalOcean droplet. How would I install Discourse on a subfolder or subdomain?

You would follow [Discourse official Standard Installation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-official-standard-installation/142537) and install it on its own droplet on a subdomain.
