Typically chpasswd is already installed... if nothing is happening are there no errors? Have you examined the makefile?

chpasswd is a console program not a web application, it's for bulk updating of passwords. With the information you've provided there's not much else i can tell you, are you using openwebmail to change the password? Do your error logs contain any errors? etc.
