I am getting this error message when i imported Template:Button and I can't seem to find anything about it that is right, i checked the permissions and whatnot, and the permissions seem to be in line.


I am using a Plesk web server, using the GIT install of mediawiki. I don't know what else to supply, so if any more information is needed,p lease do feel free to ask.


I don't know what this error means, but here is what it says:


Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted

No further details are available.


I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, i am new here. But if someone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Extension:Scribunto has some details related to this.

Basically your version of php has security restrictions that prevent the scribunto extension from working. You need to either convince your host/webserver to lift the restriction, find a new host or not use any Module namespace pages.

Hello, Just to clarify, i do have root access to the whole server, even outside of the web server.

I rent the entirety of the server, the web server is what's running on the rented server.

Therefore, i have full control over what goes on the server. Could you clarify what it is that i need to do to remove these restrictions?

I can't find any information about it, so if you could, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you
