When I follow the manual instruction, and did "chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t /path/to/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/yourOS/lua" this, it sais that can't aplly partial context to unlabeled file 'lua'. What should I do?

Did you change the system path as appropriate for your environment? The path shown on the page is only a sample and won't work verbatim unless you intentionally set up your server with that directory structure. Specifically, the /path/to/extensions refers to the /extensions directory in MediaWiki's base directory; on a default server this might therefore be /var/www/html/extensions. Additionally, the /yourOS directory is just an example and needs to be replaced as appropriate; check what directories are contained in /extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries and select the correct one for the operating system your server is running.

in fact, my lua is in the path /var/www/html/extension/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic,and I use the command CD into this directory and use command as chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t lua, I am not sure whether it is suitable, but I take it for grunted..

Same issue here.

Trying with chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t /var/www/mediawiki/extensions/Scributon/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/lua5_1_5_linux_32_generic/lua sends the same error my way.

I am trying to setup my wiki using a Raspberry Pi 3, using 32-bit Raspbian.

Have anybody resolved this problem? What was the reason?

same problem here, tried running using just lua (from inside the 1_5_* folder) as well as using proper paths

I also had this error, however I went and re-read the manual instructions. Properly this time lol.


It says "if you are using SELinux in 'Enforicing' mode on your server, you might need to set a proper context". It then gives the example of chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t.

To check if you are using SELinux check it's status by running "getenforce" this will return Enforced, Permissive, or Disabled. Or in my case:

"Command 'getenforce' not found, but can be installed with: apt install selinux-utils"

I therefore assumed it was not necessary, in my case, to run chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t.


I however, am still not able to get Scribunto to work properly...

If anyone reading this is using a Raspberry Pi:

It seems like the lua binaries that are included in the Scribunto package do not work for Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS. Apparently, they only work for Windows 32/64 bit x86, Linux 32/64 bit x86, and Mac OSX x86.

I was able to solve this by doing the following:

Run this command in terminal:

sudo apt-get install lua

If it asks for a specific version of lua, run the command again and specify the lua version in the command (i.e. sudo apt-get install lua5.1).

Edit the wiki's LocalSettings.php by adding:

$wgScribuntoDefaultEngine = 'luastandalone';
$wgScribuntoEngineConf['luastandalone']['luaPath'] = '/usr/bin/lua5.1';
