What error message are you getting?  Note that the apache scripts you
are calling have a return code and since its the last command to run
in you %post and %preun scriptltes that is the return code rpm is
going to get.

Lastly, this is an RPM maintentenance list, that is its more of a
development list, such that your post is off topic.    You want to
send this sort of thing to rpm-list at redhat.com.

Good luck...james
