It's nothing new, as far as I could go in our source repo, it always worked like that. > > Was it a bad idea to install the mysql database in the pf directory? Yes and no, we know we like to keep stuff in /var/lib/mysql/ since it's the standard and others don't look around for the database in emergency situations. But it should not prevent you of doing what you think is fine. > > Or is it possible to change the installer script, that only the > installed files/dir are changed? > - Another simple solution is to print a notification in the installation > process. > - Or make a notice in the Documentation section for the HA when it was a > good idea to include the mysql database in the pf directory. > Problem is I don't even know why we set everything to be owned by pf:pf in that script and we don't let the RPM take care of it instead.. Part of it is because apache runs as user pf. Also, on upgrade, you don't need to run installer.pl. That's another thing that is unclear.
