Maybe you webserver Apache/Nginx/whatever is not configured to start on boot, check the service is up ie:

service apache status (check for service startup script for your current webserver).

Maybe a little later, but my problem was the same. And i did everything (edit every conf file)…and nothing…after about 2 days of research i found the solution and was so simple that make me look as a fool…here it is:

  1. restore from snapshot
  2. in console stop apache service ( service apache2 stop)
  3. stop service from the app script (sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop)
  4. start service from the app script (sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start)

and thats it…all works perfect again!
