OK, So i'm trying again to get Lua to work on my server.,
Specs; ubuntu linux; Apache, mysql, mediawiki 1.25.1, lua 5.0 5.1 5.2 all
installed from ubuntu; Scribunto versions of binaries are sketchy and have
consistently failed to work properly. Lua is executable from the command
line so I am certain there are no issues there. In the snip from local
settings below, the 'lua' is a symbolic link to lua5.2 as set up by my
distro manager.
I have extension Scribunto installed and configured thusly in LocalSettings
require_once( "$IP/extensions/Scribunto/Scribunto.php" );
$wgScribuntoEngineConf['lua']['luaPath'] = ( '/usr/bin/lua' );
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgScribuntoUseGeSHi = true;
$wgScribuntoUseCodeEditor = true;
Now this is the error message I'm getting. I have googled it and there seem
to be a crap load of sites with this issue.
Lua error: callParserFunction: function "PROTECTIONEXPIRY" was not found.
Backtrace:

I have virtually no idea how to fix this. I do have all the required
modules installed also.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
