path to JS files and css not correct in magento installation

Question

I have installed a bitnami magento ami on amazon EC2. moved the website and database and everythig run smoothly except that the website page elements like css an js files are looking for:

href="/opt/bitnami/apps/magento/htdocs/..

witch is causing the problem to load the page properly that should link to the relative path of the website. I followed all guidelines indicated on bitnami wiki but looks looks like i missed something. I would be glad for you help on this matter. Thanks.

This could be a problem with the URL. Did you change it? Did you run the mysql command to update it? Try to check the following steps:

Magento also saves the URL in the database. If you have changed the URL or you are trying to access from a different machine and Magento does not work, you have to modify the domain name or the URL you should run the following command to modify the database:

$ mysql -u root -p -e "USE bitnami_magento; UPDATE core_config_data SET value ='http://NEW_IP/magento/' WHERE core_config_data.path = 'web/unsecure/base_url'; UPDATE core_config_data SET value ='https://NEW_IP/magento/' WHERE core_config_data.path LIKE 'web/secure/base_url';"

And remove the cache:

$ rm -r /installdir/apps/magento/htdocs/var/cache/*
$ rm -r /installdir/apps/magento/htdocs/var/sessions/*
