If you are lucky, the app will place a file with an obvious name in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ with some comments about what you have to change
locally to set it up - perhaps even commented out lines that you can
uncomment to active the defaults. If you are not so lucky you may
have to understand the original app setup, then look at the rpm -q
--list packagename output to figure out where the packager installed
the parts. Even then you are generally better off with the yum
installation because it will take care of any required dependencies.
