I am not using suexec only suPhp. * in the thread you linked I found this hint: * `You can not access scripts from /usr/share/php when using suphp for security reasons. You should install a copy of pear locally inside the web directory.` * This means without reinstalling php-pear into each vhost I cannot use this plugin. * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-web-optimizer-getting-php-fatal-errors/#post-1215633) * just to confirm: is this the end of the story? can’t use the plugin with suPhp without recompiling, etc? * Just checking if I understood this right. * [anotherhero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anotherhero/) * (@anotherhero) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-web-optimizer-getting-php-fatal-errors/#post-1215637) * I think, here are all instructions to get suPHP work with paths [http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-29617.html](http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-29617.html) there is a re-compilation way and some info about modules * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-web-optimizer-getting-php-fatal-errors/#post-1215639) * ok, I took care of the Mail.php story, now when activating I get: * `Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

It seems free functions will be returned to MIT in a few monthes( when we completely separate paid part from free one). * [@ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/): there is ‘blank screen’ trouble on several environments, on a few it was fixed with 0.6.0.1 release. What version have you tried? We are going to release debug edition to get Web Optimizer logs and make it workable on environments that we can’t cover by current test system. $99 is only for a full version, free version now is more powerfull that PHP Speedy (but maybe covered another part of known systems). And we are improving it every day, every hour. If you could help us to improve Web Optimizer we can make this amazing tool functioned for you. * Of course it’s not compatible (or it can lead to seriuos misfunctions) with PHP Speedy. But you don’t install Super-Cache and Hyper-Cache plugins on the same blog, do you? * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-web-optimizer-getting-php-fatal-errors/#post-1215644) * of course I deactivated php-speedy then, I mean you jsut need one plugin of a kind 🙂 but still had the blank page problem 🙁 * I was running 0.6.0.1 and like I said: nothing more in the error logs 🙁 * Ok, found more, now when activating I get this: * ``` Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. Can't write to the directory (please chmod it to 0775): /var/www/clients/client1/web7/web/wp-admin/cache/ ``` * now why on earth would the plugin not use the default cache folder in wp-content but rather make its own one in wp-admin? * Besides that I am on suPhp meaning I have to use 755 for permissions if I use 775 suPhp won’t even start, it will jsut complain that I have given too much rights to the web server 🙁 * [anotherhero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anotherhero/) * (@anotherhero) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-web-optimizer-getting-php-fatal-errors/#post-1215646) * [@ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/): can you please set all 3 cache directories (CSS/JS/HTML) on Web Optimizer Settings page to /var/www/ clients/client1/web7/web/wp-content/plugins/web-optimizer/cache/ Web Optimizer directory (also there) to /var/www/clients/client1/web7/web/wp-content/plugins/ web-optimizer/ and document root (is this actually root?) to /var/www/clients/ client1/web7/web/ * It seems automatic calculation of directories won’t work in suPHP case.
