 * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-is-working-4/)
 * I have tried all the installation instructions but i must be missing something.
   
   I have tried automatically and manually
 * I have changed the permission on the folders uploaded missing items to /ewww.
 * it still tells me that i might have to change the permission.
 * My website is [http://www.k1xtremefighter.com/](http://www.k1xtremefighter.com/)
   and it is hosted with one.com
    who have linux with apache
 * **Plugin Status

   gifsicle source pngout: MISSING Install automatically | manually – Pngout is 
   free closed-source software that can produce drastically reduced filesizes for
   PNGs, but can be very time consuming to process images Graphics libraries (only
   used for conversion, not optimization): GD: OK   Imagemagick ‘convert’: MISSING
   safe mode: Off  exec(): DISABLED  shell_exec(): DISABLED will attempt to use 
   exec() instead  file command not found on your system Only need one of these:

    EWWW Image Optimizer couldn’t install optipng
   and gifsicle in /customers/7/c/0/k1xtremefighter.com/httpd.www/wp-content/ewww/.
   Please adjust permissions or create the folder. If you have installed the tools
   elsewhere on your system, check the option to ‘Use system paths’.
 * EWWW Image Optimizer requires jpegtran, optipng or pngout, and gifsicle. You 
   are missing: jpegtran, optipng, gifsicle, pngout. Please install via the Settings
   Page. If the one-click install links don’t work for you, try the Installation
   Instructions.

 * The problematic one is this:
 * EWWW Image Optimizer requires exec(). Your system administrator has disabled 
   this function.
 * This is a requirement, and there is absolutely no way around it. Ask your webhost
   to enable it, if they won’t, you’re out of luck.

 * Thank you,
    I have changed to bluehost and now the plugin status is all OK but
   i still get this:
 * EWWW Image Optimizer couldn’t install tools in /home5/relevan3/public_html/k1xtremefighter/
   wp-content/ewww/. Please adjust permissions or create the folder. If you have
   installed the tools elsewhere on your system, check the option to ‘Use system
   paths’. For more details, visit the Settings Page or the Installation Instructions.
 * I changed all the permissions.
 * and if i check the option to ‘Use system paths’. the plugins all say missing

 * Turn on debugging in the latest version of the plugin, and use pastebin to post
   the information in yellow on the Setting page.
 * Somewhat irrelevant at this point, but I’m surprised that it isn’t detecting 
   jpegtran on your system. I use bluehost, and all my servers have had that preinstalled.
   You could contact their support and find out why it isn’t there if you want. 
   Probably not necessary though, since all the bundled tools are there and working
   anyway.

 * Quite strange. It appears that most everything is successful, except the 64-bit
   jpegtran must have gotten botched in the transfer to the new host. However, the
   file comparisons must be failing, because it is still trying to copy the binaries
   when it shouldn’t, and the permissions look right. What I suspect though, is 
   that perhaps you haven’t changed ownership on the files since you copied them
   over from your previous host.
 * Something like this should fix it (and prevent errors in the future that will
   likely come up):
 * `chown -R relevan3 /home5/relevan3/public_html/`
 * You’ll need to run that via ssh (you may be able to get bluehost support to run
   it for you if you aren’t familiar with the shell. If relevan3 isn’t your username,
   change that to the right username for your account. The command will apply to
   all files within your public_html/ folder, not just the wordpress install at 
   klxtremefighter/. That way, if there are other sites you moved over, this will
   fix the ownership on those files too.
