I downloaded Scribunto and installed it into the extensions folder, I then added require_once

"$IP/extensions/Scribunto/Scribunto.php";

to the localsettings.php file and when i then went to my wiki and viewed a page I get this error

[V7qz6goCATEACVtcqwkAAACu] 2016-08-22 08:12:27: Fatal exception of type "MWException"

I cannot view any page, but if I delete the line from localsettings it works fine.

please help?

I am using 1.27 version of MediaWiki

I can view special:version ok and it shows its installed, i can also view some of my pages but most i cannot view and has that error.

I added code to show the error in detail and here it is

"The lua binary /home/u639525380/public_html/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic/lua) is not executable."

What are the permissions for the binary ? and is it actually running on linux 64bits ?

the folder in extentions directory and all files in it are set at 0755 Linux server67.hostinger.co.uk 2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 10 08:57:30 EST 2016 x86_64

All I did was install the files that came with the package, i did not change anything and all i did was add the line requested to localsettings

please help as my wiki is not usable

Did you "Set execute permissions for the Lua binaries bundled with this extension"?

I have tried 755 and 777 but still nothing

What are the permissions of /home/u639525380/public_html/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic/lua ? According to your error message that file is not executable.

as i said i have tried 777 and 755 and same result

Yes, I know and I believe you. But your server doesn't. :-( Your server says the executable bit would be missing.This might also be a SELinux problem I guess.

Yeah sounds to me like you are using a hosting provider that has put this restriction in place. Either with SELinux, or in another way.
