You should take a look at mediawiki[1]. It stores its files in
/usr/share/mediawiki and provides scripts for creating new wikis.
The scripts reference a list of wikis in /etc/mediawiki. Instead of
copies
the new wikis are symbolic links so that package updates are
seamless.

Hi Michael,
I'll go through the package. Thank you for the quick reply.
I'm not fully sure I would call mediawiki a good example. ;)
There's:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Web_Applications
and to expand on that, you should have the vast majority of the files
in /usr/share/ and only those files that are config or otherwise change
be in /etc and linked to the share versions.
Wordpress might be another example.
No-one's answered the simplest part of the question yet :)
You can make httpd 'use the files in /usr/share' simply by including a
config snippet in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ . As Kevin suggests, Wordpress is a
decent example, but roundcubemail's happens to be even simpler. Just to
do the directory thing, all it really needs is something like this:
Alias /roundcubemail /usr/share/roundcubemail
i.e. /roundcubemail under the web server root is
/usr/share/roundcubemail on the local file system.
The mediawiki approach isn't really appropriate for a simple webapp.
