I'm running BPC on RHEL5 quite happily. I installed from source tarball
into /usr/local/backuppc. 
My server is dedicated to backup, so I just run apache as the backuppc
user.

   User backuppc
   Group apache

   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/backuppc/cgi-bin/"


I also use active directory for authentication using mod_authz_ldap:

<Location /cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin>
        SSLRequireSSL
        AuthBasicProvider ldap
        AuthType basic
        AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
        AuthName "Active Directory Authentication"
        AuthLDAPURL "ldap://our.windows.pdc:3268
our.windows.bdc:3268/DC=example,DC=com?sAMAccountName?sub"
        AuthLDAPBindDN "stubuser AT example DOT com"
        AuthLDAPBindPassword password
        Satisfy All
        Require valid-user
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Location>




IIRC, I had to install a few extra perl modules using cpan but that was
trivial.
