Bitnami Engineer here, you will need to follow the next steps to deploy your custom application on top of a Bitnami solution

• Create the same structure used by Bitnami when installing Bitnami PHP applications. To do this, run these commands:

sudo mkdir /opt/bitnami/myapp
sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/myapp
sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/bitnami/myapp

• Create and edit the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/vhosts/myapp-vhost.conf file and add the configuration block shown below:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80 _default_:80>
  ServerAlias *
  DocumentRoot /opt/bitnami/myapp
  <Directory "/opt/bitnami/myapp">
    Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

• Create and edit the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/vhosts/myapp-https-vhost.conf file and add the configuration block shown below:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443 _default_:443>
  ServerAlias *
  DocumentRoot /opt/bitnami/myapp
  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateFile "/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/certs/server.crt"
  SSLCertificateKeyFile "/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/certs/server.key"
  <Directory "/opt/bitnami/myapp">
    Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

• Restart the Apache server:

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

You should now be able to access the application at http://SERVER-IP/.

You can find more information about how to deploy the app here:

https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/infrastructure/lamp/administration/create-custom-application-php/

Regarding the amazon-ses-smtp-sample.php file, you will need to add the required rule in the .htaccess file inside the /opt/bitnami/myapp directory. Something similar to this

<Files "amazon-ses-smtp-sample.php">  
  Require all denied
</Files>
