 * Hi,
 * First of all thank you for that great plugin !
    I’m having an issue with Jpegtran.
   Since the last update (2013-3-19), i’m getting this message :
 * `jpegtran: MISSING Copy executable from /homez.577/lesgoute/www/wp-content/plugins/
   ewww-image-optimizer/jpegtran-linux64 to /homez.577/lesgoute/www/wp-content/ewww/
   jpegtran or a system path (like /usr/local/bin), OR Download jpegtran source`
 * [http://www.shanebishop.net/uploads/jpegtran-linux64](http://www.shanebishop.net/uploads/jpegtran-linux64)
 * I’ve downloaded your _[http://www.shanebishop.net/uploads/jpegtran-linux64](http://www.shanebishop.net/uploads/jpegtran-linux64)_
   and put it in the wp-content/ewww/ folder, and name it jpegtran-custom and it
   didn’t work. I’ve also changed the writing permission and still nothing.

 * If you uploaded it via FTP, you need to make sure you are transferring it in 
   binary (BIN) mode, or else the file will get corrupted. Everything else looks
   good, so that would be my suspicion, as it has happened to several other folks.
 * Nearly forgot, I was going to ask if you have anyway to check the md5sum of the
   file you uploaded?

 * Ok, just released 1.4.0 (finally) this morning. Give that a whirl, and then paste
   the debug info if it still isn’t working.

 * If you copy the regular jpegtran-linux (non 64-bit) file over to the wp-content/
   ewww/ folder and name it jpegtran-custom, what does it do?
 * And just so I’m clear, has jpegtran ever worked for you?

 * I just did and still missing on the debug.
    And yes, jpegtran was working right
   before your update (the one before). Any ideas ?

 * The old version was here: [http://jpegclub.org/droppatch.v9.tar.gz](http://jpegclub.org/droppatch.v9.tar.gz)
   
   You’ll need to extract that, and upload the jpegtran file to wp-content/ewww 
   and name it jpegtran-custom (so it doesn’t get overwritten). Let me know if that
   works, because I’ll want to investigate what they are doing to get a ‘better’
   binary than what I’m able to do (they should know, since they are the ones developing
   it).

 * so that points to something else in the code, you may need to revert to 1.3.8
   for the time being, as I may not be able to work on the issue until next Monday.

 * If you could try something else for me over the next couple days, that would 
   be helpful also:
 * Re-install 1.3.8 of the plugin, DON’T use the automatic jpegtran installer (if
   you already did, then delete jpegtran from the wp-content/ewww/ folder) Then 
   download the 64-bit version of jpegtran from [http://www.shanebishop.net/uploads/jpegtran-linux64](http://www.shanebishop.net/uploads/jpegtran-linux64)
   and upload it as jpegtran-custom like you did before, and see if it works.

 * Ok mate here’s what i did :
    I uninstalled the 1.4 version and deleted all the
   eww folder in my directories and reinstalled the 1.3.8 version. I had this message:
   [](http://oi46.tinypic.com/2myxies.jpg)
 * I did it automacally and it worked fine.
 * I reuninstalled the 1.3.8 ver for the 1.4.0 vers (also deleted all the folder)
   but i didn’t get this message anymore, it directly says that Jpegtran is missing.

 * Ok, so 1.3.8 with the automatic install worked fine, that is good, at least we
   have a case that works properly.
 * The one thing I didn’t see from your last post is this:
 * Can you install 1.3.8, and instead of doing the ‘automatic’ jpegtran install,
   download the 64-bit version of jpegtran from [http://www.shanebishop.net/uploads/jpegtran-linux64](http://www.shanebishop.net/uploads/jpegtran-linux64)
   and upload it as jpegtran-custom like you did before, and see if it works with
   1.3.8 of the plugin?
 * Please show the full status and debug block in your screenshot if it does work,
   so I can confirm a couple things.

 * Ok,
    I did exactly as you asked but here’s the problem : After i uploaded the
   jpegtran-custom file the eww folder (i used the 1.3.8 vers.), the plugin doesn’t
   realise it… even if i click on the save button, or refresh the settings page,
   i still have the same message :

 * Ok, one last thing I need you to try. Install 1.4.0 again, and copy the bundled
   jpegtran-linux binary (not 64-bit) to wp-content/ewww/jpegtran-custom
 * Make sure the permissions are set to 755 (world-executable and readable, owner-
   writable), and see what happens.
