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.
