EWWW Image optimizer with a Synology server

    Good Afternoon,

    I have a Synology server (DS212J) at my home and I have successfully installed wordpress to it. I have a few plugins installed but the last one I would like to working is EWWW Image optimizer. It has the potential to save me a lot of storage space if I could only get the missing apps installed correctly.

    I have the plugin installed but like most people it says that jpegtran, optipng, pngout, pngquant and gifsicle are missing.

    the folder structure is like most peoples:

    mywebsite/wordpress/

    with the location on my laptop being:

    T:\web\wordpress\
    or
    \\192.168.1.12\wordpress\

    so i tried downloading the jpegtran.exe and placing that in:

    mywebsite/wordpress/wp-content/ewww/

    but it still doesn’t see it so i’m going to assume it is going to be the same for all of them.

    I can telnet to the server (if that is the way to do the install), but i’m struggling to connect at the moment (something i need to sort out tonight).

    Having a search of the support i thought i could just drop the .exe files into the ewww folder and it should just pick it up, but to no avail.

    on the plugin dashboard it says ‘nice command not found on your system (not required), tar command not found on your system (required for automatic pngout installer)

    I have a good understanding of VB but this is well beyond me.

    Any pointers would be much appreciated

    Thank you

    sorry but am i doing it right. I create the test.php and then paste the code into that document. then I put it into folder /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-admin/
    then I type in this address in my web-browser(firefox in my case):

    <mywebsite>/wordpress/wp-admin/

    after that it was the same result, blank page

    This worked:

    <?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

?>

    which produced a sheet with all the specs on it.

    look at it here

    I had thought about that, didn’t realize it would show the PATH variable, or I would have mentioned it sooner. At any rate, it tells us what the PATH should be, but the binaries are in those folders and still not working. What a puzzle… Would there be any way for me to login to the box (ssh preferably)? You could send login credentials via the contact form like you did before.
