mythweb SHOULD work with just "un-tar.gz", a couple of changes to
httpd.conf to give .htaccess permission to adjust php values, and a
php.ini change to enable fopen for the status page to work.
If you have, as you say you have, completely removed everything mythweb
and everything apache (including /var/log/httpd and /etc/httpd),
re-emerged apache (but not mythweb) and are STILL having problems, then
someone else is obviously wrong with your setup or the packages.
Perhaps you should direct your blame at the packager and not the
developer. As much as I will admit that you are frustrated, deserve to
be upset, and I can understand that, I do take this a bit personally
since I'm rather proud of mythweb (even though more than half of the
important work was done by other people). I don't use packages for web
programs -- in fact, I seriously don't LIKE packages for web stuff,
since they limit the number of locations where things can be installed.
