Re: [CentOS] if you install cgi programs from rpm, how to configure for actual use in /var/www/html ?

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.

That phpMyAdmin RPM drops files into a bunch of locations, the php files are under /usr/share/phpMysql

Two suggestions, instead of copying: 1) modify the php.ini to have its path point everywhere, or 2) instead of copying, make symbolic links, so that there's only one copy.
