Thread:Project:Support desk/Scribunto / Lua Problems

Hi there,

so after trying to import Infoboxes from Wikipedia to my own MediaWiki I'm running in so much trouble, i need to kindly ask for your advice. To be honest, I'm like rly new to this and trying my best, googling for hours and trying stuff but I'm simply not able to deal with it myself. If I make dumb mistakes, pls just correct me :)

Here are my specs: Software 	Version MediaWiki 	1.21.2 PHP 		5.3.2-1ubuntu4.19 (apache2handler) MySQL 		5.1.67-0ubuntu0.10.04.1-log

Language: German (if that is important in any way... will try to translate errors n stuff) URL: Since my Wiki hosts private notes for a book i write along with others, I rly don't want to give access to it. I hope this isn't too much to ask for...

I was following this tutorial (along with several others, all over the web): http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_Wikipedia_infoboxes_tutorial

- installed the parser functions - installed scribunto (at least i think so) - imported the whole wikipedia css (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css) - added namespaces - exported the infobox template (and lots of connected stuff) - tried to import (this is where the errors start) - tried to write a lua script manually (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Bananas) - set permissions via ftp to the whole scribunto folder (including all files and subfolders)

Special:Versions says: Parsererweiterungen ParserFunctions (Version 1.5.1)	Ergänzt den Parser um logische Funktionen 	Tim Starling, Robert Rohde, Ross McClure und Juraj Simlovic Scribunto 	Ermöglicht eine Umgebung zum Einbetten von Skriptsprachen in Wikiseiten 	Victor Vasiliev und Tim Starling

Here is what i added to the localsettings.php: require_once "$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php"; $wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true; require_once "$IP/extensions/Scribunto/Scribunto.php"; $wgScribuntoDefaultEngine = 'luastandalone';

$wgMetaNamespace = "Wikipedia"; $wgExtraNamespaces[100] = 'Portal'; $wgExtraNamespaces[101] = 'Portal_talk'; $wgExtraNamespaces[108] = 'Book'; $wgExtraNamespaces[109] = 'Book_talk'; $wgExtraNamespaces[118] = 'Draft'; $wgExtraNamespaces[119] = 'Draft_talk'; $wgExtraNamespaces[446] = 'Education_Program'; $wgExtraNamespaces[447] = 'Education_Program_talk'; $wgExtraNamespaces[710] = 'TimedText'; $wgExtraNamespaces[711] = 'TimedText_talk'; $wgExtraNamespaces[828] = 'Module'; $wgExtraNamespaces[829] = 'Module_talk';

So here are a few errors that occur (NONE OF THEM ARE CLICKABLE):

Importing stuff: [some pages get imported] Import fehlgeschlagen: Lua-Fehler: Der Vorgang kann nicht erstellt werden. (in english something like: import failed: lua error: process couldn't be created)

Module:Bananas testpage: Skriptfehler: Lua-Fehler: Der Vorgang kann nicht erstellt werden. (english: script error: lua error: process couldn't be created)

Trying to open imported pages (for example: template:clear): [cb82fae6] 2014-01-11 00:28:56: Fatal exception of type ScribuntoException

For a few moments after initially importing the stuff, the main page wasn't reachable, now it turned back to normal.

I hope someone reads this and knows what to do, for i am completely desperate and in great fear my wiki crashes completely (already exported sql dumps via php myadmin and files via ftp, server repository backup via plesk before all this crap doesn't want to be restored unfortunately :

Thank you so much for reading all this, LL
