[nosilver4u](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nosilver4u/) * (@nosilver4u) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optipng-not-working/#post-4144474) * Well, looks like you accidentally messed up the binaries by copying them, and the plugin doesn’t have permissions to fix it by itself. They MUST be transferred in binary mode, otherwise they get corrupted, and don’t work at all, which is evidenced by the invalid md5sum on gifsicle. However, I’m not sure that it’s the only problem there, because optipng and the bundled version of jpegtran passed every test until it came to the actual version string. * jpegtran is showing ‘permission denied’ which is odd, since it is set to be ‘ world’ executable. In other words, even another user on the system ‘ought’ to be able to run it. * At any rate, check with your webhost to see if they can help you figure out any reason why php can’t run those binary files with exec(). * Thread Starter [VectorConsultant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vectorconsultant/) * (@vectorconsultant) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optipng-not-working/#post-4144475) * I am new with all this but I am trying to make sense of it. Would it solve some issues if I delete the plugin and the files on the server and then re-install again? * Plugin Author [nosilver4u](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nosilver4u/) * (@nosilver4u) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optipng-not-working/#post-4144476) * yeah, it’s best if you let the plugin install the binaries by itself. The instructions for ‘moving this file to that one’ and such are meant for more advanced users who might be picky about security and file permissions that prevent the plugin from doing it’s job properly. * so start there, and see what your webhost can tell you * Thread Starter [VectorConsultant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vectorconsultant/) * (@vectorconsultant) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optipng-not-working/#post-4144481) * Done. I deleted the plugin. Then I deleted left over files on the netfirms server. Then I reinstalled the plugin. I still get the same issues. I had contacted netfirms before but they send me back to you. * EWWW Image Optimizer requires jpegtran, optipng or pngout, and gifsicle. You are missing: optipng, gifsicle.

(@nosilver4u) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optipng-not-working/#post-4144483) * it looks like all the checks are passing until it comes to actually running the binary. The md5 checks are passed, the mimetype is checking out, but the server can’t run the binary for some reason. It’s not unheard of, but unless you can give me shell (ssh) access to the server, there’s not much I can do beyond that. Do you have ssh access and at least have passable knowledge of the linux command line? * Lastly, netfirms should be able to test the binaries on your server and see what happens, but if they won’t budge, and none of the above works, we’re pretty much stuck. * I’m working on a new version of the plugin that will let you offload the optimization via a paid service, but that’s a few days out yet. * Thread Starter [VectorConsultant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vectorconsultant/) * (@vectorconsultant) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optipng-not-working/#post-4144485) * Thanks so much for looking into this. I will go back to netfirms with the info you provided. Maybe that will help. If that does not work I will connect back with you. * Re my linux proficiency… wish I had it. I can read code though and have done some software development in the past. I am just hopeless when it comes to server stuff. * In the meantime, please keep me posted about the new version of the plugin, it seems it may help me and a lot of other people. * Plugin Author [nosilver4u](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nosilver4u/) * (@nosilver4u) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/optipng-not-working/#post-4144577) * New version released with ‘cloud’ functionality.
