CentOS - Jan 2012 - A silly question about getting access to webapp installed with yum

Greetings,

I have helped host a few applications such as GLPI, OCSInventory, etc
etc. using the tarball method and untarring them in /var/www/htom
directory.

I have never done them though using yum.

I was trying to install Trac, Bugzilla etc using yum install method on
a Centos 6.2 box.

Somehow I am not able to see the respective pages say even using
http://localhost/trac or http://localhost/bugzilla

Now comes the elementary and stupid question:

Now where do these stuff get installed? they are not under /var/www/html

I did find some under /usr/share

Any pointers to instantiate them?

I am not good at understanding what that beast of yum does as to post
install script. Though I have created a mysql with CSV and blackhole
engines about a year back and as I did it for a client of the company
where I worked then and cannot have my grubby hands on that script.

Any help appreciated.

TIA

If you're not sure of the names of the rpms that yum installed,
read /var/log/yum.log to find out.

Yum only downloads and installs RPM files, so in general you will use
the rpm command to get the details of the packages you installed.

You can see all the files included in a package by using "rpm --query
--list <package>".  For apache web apps, the centos style is to place
an include file in /etc/httpd/conf.d with the configuration for the
app, but your apps might have done something different.  Take a look
at the include file and see if you need to configure something.  There
may be docs in /usr/share/doc/<packagename> explaining what you need
to do.
