Topic on Extension talk:Scribunto

Hello, today I created my brand new wiki and everything went fine until I created my first character page.

I looked on Google on how to import templates and I tried to import the Template:Infobox from wikipedia, but it gave me an error asking me for some scrubunto extension, so I looked on Google and found a guide here on how to install it, I downloaded the one for my version, wich is 1.29, I then extracted it with 7zip and uploaded on altervista with Filezilla.

I then set up the LocalSetting.php file to make it load up and when I tried to import the template again I got this error:

"Importazione non riuscita: The lua binary (/membri/themagotuxwiki/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic/lua) is not executable."

at that point I went on my Filezilla and I changed the permissions of the whole folder structure of "Extensions" to enable execute, at that point I thought "well, since now the permissions are ok, it must work, right ?" No, wrong, when I tried to import the template again, I got that same error again !!!

I checked the permissions of the extensions folder and everything, "read", "write" and "execute" are checked as well as "recursive" and "all files and subfolders".

I created my wiki on the host Altervista, on which I've been making sites for a lot of years now (but I never created a wiki there until today).

I basically want the template:infobox to work so I can make the characters pages with the character's name, role and all other stuff on the right as well as the picture with the description, you know, that rectangular thing with all the character's info that is on every wikipedia page of any character.

[http://themagotuxwiki.altervista.org/index.php?title=TheMagoTux|This is the page], as you can see it says "Missing module "infobox" in the beginning.

EDIT: now the page just gives away the error directly.

Here's a screenshot of the permissions of that lua file in particular: https://image.prntscr.com/image/Esib92WcTISvhNt2aTOiyQ.png

It sounds like you need to add something like the following to your wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Infobox

That's exactly what I'm trying to import: Template:Infobox and the module:infobox, but when I try to import them, I get that lua execution error nonetheless I have the "execute" permissions on that file.

Check that exact file. Don't count on the folder to propagate the settings down. If you check that and it's executable too, make sure you're not on a noexec filesystem or under SELinux restrictions.

The actual exact file is set as "executable".

How do I check if the host uses a noexec filesystem ?

Check mount options in /etc/fstab.
