I'm trying to recreate certain pages from Wikipedia. I've imported the necessary files, installed scribunto, etc. and now I'm at a point where I get the following Script Error:

Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open is not available. Check PHP's "disable_functions" configuration directive.

When I make a test.php and look at the info I see the following:

disable_functions Local: system,exec,shell_exec,passthru,proc_open,proc_get_status,proc_nice,proc_terminate,dl,popen,pcntl_exec Master: system,exec,shell_exec,passthru,proc_open,proc_get_status,proc_nice,proc_terminate,dl,popen,pcntl_exec

You should remove that function from the disable_functions directive.

If you don't have control over that (because you're on a "cheap" shared host), you should substitute the scribunto modules used on the templates by wikitext versions of them, for example, going to the template page on Wikipedia, looking at the template history and get the text before it was converted to a scribunto module.
