Get Bitnami app to run in the root?

Question

Apologies in advance for the newbie question. I've deployed a small instance running Discourse within the Bitnami console. I can now reach Discourse on the following domain:

http://<myapp>.bitnamiapp.com/discourse

I've also got a CNAME pointing to this server instance. But how can I make the Discourse app run within the root? So it can be accessed directly on:

    http://<myapp>.bitnamiapp.com/

Do I need to use Putty to get a terminal window and modify the host headers? Linux is foreign territory for me so any guides to help me achieve this would be much appreciated.

Recent versions of BitNami Discourse are configured to run in http://.bitnamiapp.com/

For old versions you can find the documentation here: http://wiki.bitnami.com/Applications/BitNami_Discourse#How_to_change_the_default_URL_to_root.3f
