APIv3 Rest URL ... Could not load the settings file

I have a test instance started a day ago of CiviCRM running on Amazon EC2 using the bitnami version (https://bitnami.com/stack/civicrm/cloud) which uses Drupal.

I added an api_key through MySQL for the correct user id and read the CIVICRM_SITE_KEY from civicrm.settings.php which I found at /bitnami/drupal/sites/default/civicrm.settings.php

Running APIv3 through the CiviCRM console (http://mysite/civicrm/api3#explorer) works and generates an example query url to use for REST. However, when I substitute in the keys and put the query in my browser address bar I get: "Could not load the settings file at: /bitnami/drupal/modules/contrib/civicrm/../..//default/civicrm.settings.php"

What can I change to make sure that the civicrm.settings.php file is found?
