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:

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?
