 * 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.
 * Debug Info
 * jpegtran path:
    optipng path: /homez.577/lesgoute/www/wp-content/ewww/optipng

 * I went back to that screenshot you attached towards the beginning, and realized
   the permissions weren’t set properly on the jpegtran-custom file when you uploaded
   it. I think we’ve pretty well established that your system doesn’t like the 64-
   bit binary for some weird reason, since the plugin itself takes care of permissions
   when it auto-installs that one.
 * And my instructions included the correct permisions when you tested the 32-bit
   bundled binary at wp-content/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/jpegtran-linux
 * So, it seems we need to re-check the original binary from [http://jpegclub.org/droppatch.v9.tar.gz](http://jpegclub.org/droppatch.v9.tar.gz).
   Extract it, upload the file named ‘jpegtran’ in Binary mode as jpegtran-custom,
   and make sure permissions are set to 755. Please do this with version 1.4.0 of
   the plugin.
 * If that still doesn’t work, could you set me up with a test wordpress install
   on your host, and send the login details via my website: [http://www.shanebishop.net/contact-me/](http://www.shanebishop.net/contact-me/)
 * That way I can attempt to pin-point what exactly is going wrong with your particular
   setup.
