    For image optimisation with this addon, exec PHP and shell_exec PHP function need to be enabled.
    How to see is it enabled, and if is not, how to enabling it?

    Is it safe to that two function be enabled?

    hello
    you can check your php-fpm.conf file for these functions in this path
    Code:
    /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf
    shortcut for this is fpmconf and it opens with nano.

    you can find php_admin_value[disable_functions] near the end.

    regarding if it is safe or not, do not quote me on this but i believe it has to do with what you are running on your server.
    if somehow you can give permissions to execute these functions only by the script you need then it could be safer i think

    I can see only for shell_exec php-fpm.conf, not for another one exec PHP

    Code:
    php_admin_value[disable_functions] = shell_exec
    To enable, I just deleteshell_exec, so that row will be:
    Code:
    php_admin_value[disable_functions] =
    or just to comment out that row?

    What about another one variable?

    yup @hitman directions are correct, only shell_exec is disable via php-fpm.conf so need to re-enable it by removing the entry and check your phpinfo file to see

    Also, trying to find is PHP proc_open enabled or disabled on my server.
    I can not find it in php.ini nor other php conf file.
    So it is enabled or...?

    if not set in disable_functions listing in phpinfo output, then not disabled

    also if a function is disabled and set in disable_functions, and your php script requires the function, it will log into nginx error log that disable_function is attempting to be used

    i.e. attempting to run shell.php with shell_exec command when it's set in disable_functions
    Code (Text):
    2016/10/06 00:19:21 [error] 14781#14781: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: 
PHP Warning:  shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in shell.php on line 2"
while reading response header from upstream, client: ip, server: centos7.localdomain, request: "GET /shell.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "hostip"
