EWWW Image optimizer with a Synology server

Gotta have plugin status and debug info to start…

ah yes sorry.

Plugin status

Debug Log

I now have root access to the server via telnet.

I don’t think i’m installing jpegtran in the right directory as you can see in this log i get a lot of errors.

I have now managed to install jpegtran, optipng, pngout, in the root of the server using GCC as the compiler.

I didn’t have the a compiler or make installed, but it has since installed.

here is the new debug log

Do you know what sort of operating system it uses? Is it a debian based setup, rpm-based? What might help is knowing how you got GCC installed on the system.

Ok, looks like it uses it’s own package manager, and it has an ARM processor, so there isn’t an easier way than what you’re already doing. Just wanted to confirm that first.

From the log you posted earlier, it seems you’ve successfully ‘untarred’ the files. You’ve got ./configure run, and then you run ‘make’. The last step is to run ‘make install’. This should install the binary in the necessary folder to let EWWW IO detect it automatically. If that still doesn’t do the trick, let me know. Try it with all three tools, just to make sure that jpegtran isn’t being picky. It compiles a little differently than the other tools.

thanks

Thank you for your time, I shall write down all the commands that I used to set this up so far.

right these are all the commands I used but it’s still not seeing it within the wordpress plugins, even copying the files suggested still not solves the problem:

This is the full blown account of all the commands and what they do on the server, including how I copied the files over to volume1 where I was hoping the plugin would see the files.

Is it something to do with linking the folders in the root area to the volume1?

Would love to get this working as it’s the last thing I need to install.

One thing it looks like you’re struggling with there is knowing what a leading slash (/) does/means. If you type a path like /optipng/src/xxx, the system looks from the root (/) of your filesystem for that directory. If you omit the leading /, like optipng/src/xxx, then it looks for that path in the current directory. I probably need to update my instructions a little bit to be more clear on that.

At any rate, the ‘make install’ commands look like they were successful, but perhaps the ‘web’ user isn’t able to actually use system-installed binaries or something like that. Then it looks like you copied the binaries to xxx-custom, but I’m not sure you did it right. Looks like you tried about 30 different commands trying to get the syntax right, and on the jpegtran one, you copied an entire directory to jpegtran-cus.

To continue (since you already have the binaries compiled), log back into your shell and try this command:

optipng -v

If it works, then your system is at least capable of running the binaries. Let me know how that goes, and we’ll go from there.

thank you for your time and patience. I shall log on tonight and try it.

and yes I was struggling a bit but slowly getting there.

It’s a good start:

DiskStation> pwd
/root
DiskStation> optipng -v

Ok, good deal. How about this:

which optipng

and

which jpegtran

This will tell us where the binaries (executables) were installed on the system. It’s interesting that jpegtran is showing an older version. It must already be installed on the DiskStation. It’s not really a big deal to have an older version of jpegtran, as I haven’t seen any differences in my testing.

Couple other things we need to check. The debug log showed that the webserver runs under the Amiddleton user. Is there a folder named /home/Amiddleton? If so, try adding this to /home/Amiddleton/.profile :

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/syno/sbin:/usr/syno/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:

or

export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/syno/sbin:/usr/syno/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:

Then check the plugin status and see if that changes anything.

well the first part worked alright.

Is there an /etc/profile ?
Try ‘ls /etc’

And if so, paste the contents via pastebin please.

ls /etc fired up a list and profile is in there.

so I opened that up.
