Description:
Hi, I have installed the bitnami wordpress multisite locally on my computer. (I also have Bitnami normal wordpress locally). Where do I find the multisite user name and password please? (My other bitnami/ wp passwords don’t work) I tried to download the bitnami diagnostic tool to see if it could help me but I can’t find where to do this to help me? I’m on a Mac. Thanks 
Hi @louise1,
To find the credentials you need to:
Access the app’s terminal using the OSX manager window.
Then run the following command:
cat ~/bitnami_credentials

hi Michiel, Thanks for your reply but I have tried that a few times and it says: No such file or directory
Hi @louise1,
That’s strange, did you open the terminal app using the OSX manager window? Can you check the contents of the /opt/bitnami/var/log/pre-start.log file. The credentials should also be there.
Regards,
Michiel
Hi Michiel, Thanks for your reply. I opened Terminal via the Wordpressmultisite application dialogue box.
I typed in what you just sent ( /opt/bitnami/var/log/pre-start.log) into terminal and I got this back in terminal : zsh: no such file or directory: /opt/bitnami/var/log/pre-start.log

Hi @louise1,
You need to open the terminal of the VM, not of the Mac itself. The following guide shows how you can open it:

Hi Michiel,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I’ve tried a few times opening it from the terminal of the VM and putting in : sudo cat /home/bitnami/bitnami_credentials
and it comes back with “No such file or directory”
HI @louise1,
Can you send me the result of the following command:
ls -la ~
And:
ls -la /opt/bitnami

Michiel
Hi Michiel,
This is what I get:

Hi @louise1,
You’re using the MacOS terminal, you need to open the VM’s terminal as described in step 1 of the guide:
And then run this command (in the VM’s terminal):
cat ~/bitnami_credentials

Michiel
Hi Michiel,
I do follow the instructions and still get no such file or directory.
Is it because I have another version of wordpress bitnami on my machine but for single site not multisite?
Thanks,
Louise
When I open the VM’s terminal by going to the - General - Open Terminal
It then opens the Terminal and the icon appears in my dock. I then open that and paste the command in there.
Is there supposed to be another Terminal opening somewhere else?
Hi @louise1,
Can you send some screenshots or a screen recording of clicking on the Open Terminal button and the terminal opening?
Regards,
Michiel
Hi Michiel, I’ll attach some screenshots now Thanks again for your help.
Hi @louise1,
Can you go to Services and then click on Start? Then wait until everything has started and then try clicking on Open Terminal again?
Regards,
Michiel
Hi Michiel, I did that again and it still comes back with: No such file or directory
Hi @louise1,
The terminal that should open is supposed to look like this:
Can you completely close the terminal application (right click the terminal Dock icon and click Quit) and try again?
Regards,
Michiel
Hi Michiel,
I did that but I don’t get what you have in the screenshot above I get the same as I have previously.
Does it matter the site is at ? : http://192.168.64.4.nip.io
as previously my bitnami individual site (not multisite) didn’t have nip.io at the end?
Thanks again for your help,
Louise
Hi @louise1,
That doesn’t matter. Can you tell me which Mac (Intel or M1) and MacOS version you are using?
Regards,
Michiel
Hi Michiel,
It’s a MacBook Pro 8-Core Intel Core i9, running macOS 11.6. I am running the normal Bitnami Wordpress no problem. I just would like to get the multisite working if possible.
Thanks so much for helping with this
