documented paths don't agree with reality

Asked by Dave Kimble

The Ubuntu packaged documention seems to mirror the Courier documentation without taking into account the special paths used for the build.

/usr/lib/courier/libexec/courier/webmail/webadmin is actually at /usr/lib/courier/courier/webmail/webadmin .
/usr/lib/courier/etc/webadmin/password is actually at /etc/courier/webadmin/password .

I suspect something similar is preventing me from successfully logging in on Administrative Login page

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with Cherokee 1.2.101 .
I have installed Courier-ESMTP (0.66.1), -POP3S, -IMAPS and -webadmin from the Ubuntu Software Centre, and I'm now trying to get webadmin working so that I can configure the Courier settings.

The instructions at the courier website say that I should use the installation instructions that come with the packaged pre-built binaries, but they are the same, despite the file system layout being somewhat different.

I can get the Administrative Login screen up, and the installation process already asked me to preset the password, and /etc/courier/webadmin/password contains my password, but the login page seems to reject my password and returns "302" and reloads the login page without any error message.
