    OK. Latest update….

    All sub-sites are back. Turns out it was the //opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/httpd-app.conf file that was the issue. It was overiding the root .htaccess file in the wordpress root.

    Using the AWS EC2 WordPress tutorial I dsicovered that the:

    <Directory “/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs”>
    Options +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride all
    needs to be AllowOverride all

    Then I copied the prescribed Network setup code (wp-admin/network/setup.php) for the htaccess file into the httpd-app.conf file, overidding the existing settings in there. It was a gamble, but I was desperate by that stage!

    So, subsite admin areas are working and the site themselves seem to be ok.

    I guess this has come about as the Bitnami stack is based to run on a fresh multisite install and I kinda hacked it by launching it and then dragging a massive pre-existing multisite to sit in its place. However, I’m sure there are many people who would also be looking to migrate sites rather than start from scratch. It would be worth adding a note about the .htaccess issue in the docs. There is some info in the Apache docs here that flagged the issue: https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/components/apache/#how-to-configure-htaccess-files
