Thread:Extension talk:Scribunto/Also getting a Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 1.

I too am a novice/rookie at installing and working with a MediaWIki install on a hosted site server. I have the following as the MediaWiki install:

MediaWiki	1.20.2 PHP	5.3.27 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL	5.5.32-31.0-log

I believe this is on a Linux server by my site host, but not 100% sure on that. I tried to install the Scribunto extension (the first time I have tried to install an extension) but now I am getting the internal error message when using a module template I scrapped from Wikipedia. I tried to troubleshoot it and enabled the error logging as suggested in other threads about this error and I am getting the following:

I have set (and verified) that permissions for everything within the Scribunto folder structure (folders and files) themselves to 755, but still no joy.

Can anyone help guide me through resolving the errors and getting this to work (at the end of the day I just need the various string parser functions to work in templates I am both creating and porting over from Wikipedia?
