Some links for your review:

http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=icfaq02.01
http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=icfaq02.02
http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=icfoundation06.01

WRT html documents directories, cgi-bin directories, IC server install 
location and catalogs location, the choice is yours. As long as the 
permissions and ownerships are right and your associated daemons (Apache, 
SQL, etc) know what is where, you can set it up how you like.
