At least for the rpm-packaged programs in the base and most 3rd party repos, all of the configuration files will be under /etc

one notable exception to that is postgresql, its config files are normally in the postgres data directory, nominally /var/lib/postgresql/data

since its config is quite closely tied to its data files and its datafiles are very version specific, you really need to pg_dumpall the old and restore it to the new.

now, I do note that debian/ubuntu move these conf files to /etc/postgresql/$version/... but we have to mimic upstream
