Hiding .env file as OpenShift Secret

Question

I have a laravel project that is hosted in OpenShift.

I need to hide my .env from public git so I created it as OpenShift Secret and try to mount volume to /var/www/magic/

However, this will cause the deployment to fail with CrashLoopBackOff with Terminal showing

DocumentRoot Error: Unable to find /opt/app-root/rh/var/www/magic/public, not found or unreadable.

However, there is no issue for my dsa-known-hosts secret at /opt/app-root/src/.ssh/

Is there anyone experience with PHP & OpenShift to help?

After using Will Gordan's advice, adding subPath in the template yaml was the solution. It allows me to mount the file as it instead of replacing the directory.
