what kind of hosting do you have with them? cloud hosting, vps, or dedicated?
Maybe I did this wrong earlier, I replied to your email
I have VPS with cloudvoom.
If I must, I would be willing to pay a tiny amount to some one to install this for me.
yeah, you can’t reply to the emails, that just goes back to the system that runs the wordpress forums…
Anyway, on a vps you should be able to install the binaries. So, couple questions, and I might be able to walk you through the steps if you can answer them. If not, we’ll explore other options.
1. Do you have shell/ssh access?
1a. Do you know how to use it?
2. Do you know what version of linux your vps is running (cloudvoom support might be able to answer that for you)? Looking for something like Debian, RedHat, CentOS, Ubuntu, etc.
I asked my host to help me before I posted on this forum and this is what I got:
Hello,
Your server is with hepsia which basically means you do not have standard root access and anything installed on the server will be reverted back each time the server is restarted.
I am afraid that this module can not be installed.

therefore I believe that I need to do this :
Download the latest stable version of jpegtran to your home directory
Uncompress jpegtran: tar xvzf jpegsrc.v9.tar.gz && cd jpeg-9
Configure and compile jpegtran: ./configure –disable-shared && make
If you have root access, install it with make install
If not, copy the binary from /jpeg-9/jpegtran to the ewww tool folder (wordpress/wp-content/ewww/jpegtran-custom).
and that is the Greek part
do you have any sort of shell access? Without that, it’s pretty tough to install anything. Those commands mentioned require at least some sort of shell access, then we can copy the binary to the ewww/ folder.
I have shell access.

is that what we need?

That sounds right. Email me via http://www.shanebishop.net/contact-me/ and we can work out the details.
For future reference, the issue was resolved by copying jpegtran-linux64 to wp-content/ewww/jpegtran-custom
