I finished writing PHP scrips that adds a web based interface to my Linux systemto perform bare metal backup. However, since then (two days), I have been struggling to build an RPM out of these scripts so that it is easy to distribute it. I read a lot of documentation online already and finally managed to create the RPM without any errors. But when I try to install the RPM, it is not doing its job. All, I want to do with the RPM is to copy three files to the respective locations in /etc/ and /var/log
I would *really* appreciate if some one can help me please.

This is how my spec look like:

Name: cc-test
Version: 1.1
Release: 12
Group: System Environment/Base
Packager: Home
Summary: Bare metal backup restore
Vendor: Home
License: GPL
Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
Buildroot: /tmp/%{name}-%{version}

%description
Bare metal backup restore

%prep
%setup -q

%install
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin
install -m 755 iBook $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin/iBook
install -m 644 IBM $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin/IBM
install -m 644 IBM /var/webconfig/IBM

%files
%attr(-,mkhan,mkhan)
/usr/bin/iBook
/usr/bin/IBM

I use "rpmbuild --define "_topdir /home/mkhan/rpms" -ba cc-test.spec" to create the RPM, and both the rpm and src.rpm files get created Okay. Below is the output:

Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.94845

I use "sudo rpm --force -ivh cc-test-1.1-12.i386.rpm" to install the RPM on a CentOS file server. And this is the output that I get:
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:cc-test ########################################### [100%]

But when I go to /var/webconfig/ directory, the 'IBM' file is not copied.

I'm really frustrated with building and RPM, and would really appreciate some help.

thank you,
