I am creating an rpm installer for my web applications. On the spec file, i got this on %prep and %install

%prep
#will create and cd to the named directory before doing the untar. 
%setup  -c -n %{name}

%install
php install.php

The issue is that when execute the command sudo rpmbuild -ba webapp.spec, the install.php file is executed. It executes the code to update the source, database and fix scripts. But nothing was executed when I install the rpm file like this command sudo rpm -i webapp-1.0-0.i386.rpm

I'm wondering if rpm will only execute the spec file when building/packaging the rpm but not on the rpm installation. Any help will be appreciated

You need `%post` http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-scripts.html#S2-RPM-INSIDE-ERASE-TIME-SCRIPTS – Alexey Ten Apr 20 '15 at 07:56

And learn the difference between build-time and install-time scripts. – Alexey Ten Apr 20 '15 at 07:57
