You mean to say it does work for you, as delivered? Or that it ought to work for me, but you are just guessing?
In RedHat 6, at least, I cannot get ANY application to work if it does not offer files up from /var/www/html (no matter what the http config says). I now *THINK* the reason is SELinux. I understand http configuration, SELinux is a whole different problem. I understand the concept, but the tools to configure it are mysterious. The system will not offer things from /usr/share or whatnot, even if I alter the httpd config to allow it. The mediawiki RPM comes along with an httpd.conf file that tries to allow it. But the system won't allow it. Today I realized will not allow symbolic links from /var/www/html pointing into "safe" parts of the file system.
In case this helps, this was the setup I had for the beta of RHEL v6 (still have, I just don't boot to that partition much) in my httpd.conf file for an alias for phpmyadmin, I just followed the example for the Alias icons already in the file:
Alias phpMyAdmin "/usr/share/phpMyAdmin"
<Directory "/usr/share/phpMyAdmin"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
And for virtual hosts under localhost I had the 'default' under /var/www/html and the others under /var/www (i.e. testsite1 and 2). No SELinux issues then, but that was the beta.
