Thread:Extension talk:Scribunto/Template import and Script error - "Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 1."/reply

I'm glad you posted more information on your user page. The error you're getting about "The system cannot find the path specified" is because you set  to a path that doesn't exist on your system. The error message you quote before that indicates that Lua was being started fine, so you should delete that assignment from your configuration.

The original error you were getting, "attempt to index field 'text' (a nil value)", is because you are using an older version of Scribunto than is installed on WMF servers: your version is lacking the mw.text library. See other discussions on this page (Extension_talk:Scribunto) for discussion about that particular error and possible workarounds.
