So I'm getting the very common error "The lua binary (/home/u249147388/public_html/testing/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic/lua) is not executable" but I did mark the executable as executable (with chmod code 755). For some reason the error still keeps coming up when the executable does have the executable flag. Any ideas? Could it be an annoying noexec flag somewhere? I'm running MediaWiki version 1.22.7 and Scribunto for MW 1.22. Thanks.

What does
ls -l
say for that file?
ls -l output:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 u249147388 u249147388 195476 Jun 4 17:18 lua
Could it be an annoying noexec flag somewhere?
That would be my guess.
I guess it is. I'll be switching to a new hosting company anyways because this one also doesn't support proc_open which is needed for many scripts.
I got the same error, although I even set "executable" to the whole extensions folder and subfolders.
Try to run your /home/u249147388/public_html/testing/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic/lua from command line.
Also, check if the partition where this file is situated is mounted with noexec option (/etc/fsab).
