Bitnami Engineer here,

Please follow the next steps to move wordpress from / to /blog .

1. Your /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/httpd-prefix.conf should look like this

   Alias /blog/ "/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/" Alias /blog "/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs" Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/httpd-app.conf"

2. Edit the following in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/httpd-app.conf

   From: #RewriteBase /wordpress/ To: RewriteBase /blog/

   From: RewriteRule. /index.php [L] RewriteRule. /index.php [L] To: RewriteRule. /blog/index.php [L] RewriteRule. /blog/index.php [L]

3. Edit the following in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-config.php

   From:

    define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. '/'); define('WP_HOME', 'http://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. '/');

   To:

    define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. '/blog'); define('WP_HOME', 'http://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. '/blog');

4. Finally restart apache:

    $ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
