Description Mark A. Hershberger 2013-07-25 00:10:38 UTC
After uploading MW and Scribunto via FTP to free GoDaddy hosting, it wouldn't work.  I spent several hours trouble shooting before I discovered the cause: the bundled.binaries didn't have the executable bit set.

Change 75819 had a related patch set uploaded by MarkAHershberger:

Hi since adding this change it seems to be having an error with my wiki it used to work before this change please fix it
Comment 4 Andre Klapper 2013-09-06 09:35:45 UTC
paladox2015: If you'd like somebody to investigate then you should provide way more information than "having an error with my wiki", plus explain why you think that it's related. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug
Comment 5 paladox2015 2013-09-06 14:47:47 UTC
Well when I go on my wiki http://random-wikisaur.tk and type module:documentation and then typed --start and click save it would show an error when the extension is having problems running it didn't show this error before until now

Could you separate your steps (and sentences) by using punctuation marks?
Have you asked on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk ?
Still no idea what your error message is, still no idea why you think this is related to this bug report. Again, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug
Comment 7 Brad Jorsch 2013-09-06 15:01:09 UTC
And the error itself is what? Please copy and paste the entire error from your logs.

Also, if you can identify which Lua binary is being used (which you will be able to do if it is due to this change), please execute "ls -l /path/to/the/binary" from a shell on the server and include that here too.

(In reply to comment #8)
> Error is [95870313] 2013-09-06 19:04:48: Fatal exception of type MWException

See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug

> and I doint have access to ssh due to my host blocking it due to security

Then there might be nothing we can help with. Please ask on the Support Desk.

No open patches to review here (backport patches got abandoned), hence resetting status to RESOLVED FIXED. Backport_to_Stable flag might be set to "-" by hexmode.
