In Centos 5.5, I've had this same experience over and over. I have no trouble installing CGI programs the old fashioned way (untar into /var/www/html and configure), but don't like un-rpm managed files floating about. So I can install, for example, phpMyAdmin, from EPEL.
I don't think that step is necessary. The contents of /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf (specifically the two Alias lines) should ensure that the software works fine without moving it.
I don't have a Centos box that I can test on right now, but I've just installed phpMyAdmin on this Fedora 14 box for the first time (using yum) and it all just works. All I did was to restart the server.
If it's not working for you, then are you sure that your Apache is configured to use the files in /etc/httpd/conf.d? If the config file is being loaded successfully, then I can't see why it wouldn't work.
I just checked the conf.d for RHEL v6 beta and there isn't a phpmyadmin.conf, which is probably why I added the alias to the httpd.conf file. fwiw.
So perhaps it's added on Fedora but not on RHEL / CentOS when you install phpmyadmin?
