Change default URL on bitnami EC2 application

I'm running wordpress on a micro EC2 instance using a bitnami AMI (ami-8333ffea to be exact) but I think this question applies to any bitnami cloud application. I've designated an Elastic IP and mapped a subdomain to the instance (e.g., blog.example.com). So far, so good.

Now I can access the blog but the URLs all contain '/wordpress' (blog.example.com/wordpress/.../). Bitnami has documentation (click 'Cloud Image/Bitnami Hoting' tab) for fixing this but I've tried following it several times without success. I make the changes, the site still works but '/wordpress' is still there taunting me. The machine is running Apache2 and the instructions all seem to make sense. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Please help.

Probably the WordPress siteurl setting was not updated. The following command has to be executed:

sudo /opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p -e "use bitnami_wordpress; update wp_options set option_value='http://blog.example.com' where option_name='siteurl' or option_name='home'"

Make sure that you substitute "blog.example.com" in the example above with your own domain name.

And after changing the httpd.conf file, the Apache web server should be restarted:

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

You can take a look at the BitNami Cloud Hosting article explaining how to assign a custom domain to your server, you can directly jump to the 6th section.

If you have BitNami specific questions, consider visiting BitNami Support page bitnami.org/support.
