Thread:Extension talk:Scribunto/Lua scribunto error on many pages (status 127)/reply (6)

wow. that worked. For anyone watching I did the following:

downloaded lua 5.1

uploaded it via FTP to my server

connected to my server via SSH

CD to the lua5.1 dir

typed make linux (which is the OS of my server)

and then added "$wgScribuntoEngineConf['luastandalone']['luaPath'] to the path that it installed to." to my localsettings.php file

Thanks JAckmcbarn
