Wordpress

Running Bitnami's Ubuntu Wordpress Image on Amazon EC2. By default the WordPress install is at /wordpress and there is a static index.html file in the root. How do I configure Apache and WordPress to serve from the root instead of /wordpress?

I have tried the instructions on this page: http://digitivity.org/10/how-to-serve-your-wordpress-blog-from-the-root-directory-if-its-installed-in-a-subdirectory without success.

I have tried changing the document root to the folder serving the wordpress content, but that just breaks WordPress.

I know I am missing something simple, but not sure what. Any help would be appreciated.
