Nah, running this is not safe it breaks file permissions, my pngs are not showing on the website, and they are there in the right folder on cpanel… optimized ??

I end up installing optipng and running it recursively on the whole /home/ directory. Hopefully it wont cahnge the file permissions

cd /home/

## Overwrite images ##
## Keep file system permission and make a backup of original PNG (see options below) ##

find -name ‘*.png’ -print0 | xargs -0 optipng -nc -nb -o7 -keep -preserve -log optipng.log

Its a mixture of what i found here : https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-optimize-lossless-png-images-with-optipng-command/ and here: https://blarg.co.uk/blog/recursively-optimize-png-files

I’ve tried it
ln -sf /home/wtmmeuk/www/ /home/lmorguk/public_html/wp-content/
created symlink … i could browse into /home/lmorguk/public_html/wp-content/www/ from ssh, it would redirect me to /home/wtmmeuk/www/

But on ewww it just gave infinite “Scanning, this could take a while”

Than i tried to open that symlink trough cpanel … and it just gave me “This directory is empty.” message.

All this makes me think its permissions issue … wordpress is running under some limited account (lmorguk in my case) that cant follow symlink to another users folder, but root can

I dont know if i could install wp under root account on whm, that would propably work

I dont know if i can make symlink outside of curent user home folder … would it make file permission problems afterwards ?

So the idea is too make symlinks to folders i want to optimize, all this using root account over ssh

I’ll try it when i find the time … but i dont even know how to create symlinks in shell

Other way I wanted to try is to use all these tools like optipng, pngout while using root account but this would definitely create file permission problems afterwards

Both moduls are enabled, but no luck for me… i tried with some other rules that i googled out but nothing … too bad

Also an suggestion, is it possible that ur plugin runs conversions processes on lower processor priority? It would be a nice option

apache is running under SYSTEM user (as windows service) … windows file security is set so everybody has RW access

httpd.conf is set like this :

<Directory “c:/wamp/www/”>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

i removed them and now i can access to both png and webp …

that would be great, especialz on mobile devices, since the popup doesnt work very well on small screen
