Activities
- Have attempted operations with PHP versions 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4
- Cannot use the AlmaLinux installed Lua binaries, as they are v5.3.4. But I sure tried a few times.
- mb_string enabled
- System check confirms that show_source, system, shell_exec, passthru, exec, popen, proc_open are not disabled in any of my server PHP packages.
- Three different installs have been made. Two domain types on VPS using MediaWiki v1.43.1, and one using v1.39.12. No differences, except that PHP v8.3 and 8.4 break the 1.39 version with a solid 500 error. Both 1.43 versions return the Signal 11 error code.
- A clean Scribunto tarball and clean Lua 5.1.5 binaries were downloaded from Sourceforge. Two methods of this were tried. 1. Replacing the installation Scribunto folder; 2. Placing the folder and binary at the domain folder root and redirecting. Neither method made any difference.
- Lua binaries always set with 0744 permissions. Experimentally, every Scribunto directory and file was set to 755 and again to 777 when no changes. Did not affect outcome, and now reverted with fresh folder.
- PHP/Apache and the entire VPS container have been restarted multiple times after config changes.
