A couple of months I had to reconstruct the Wikispooks site from backups and had to accept the loss of a few days edits as a result. I suspect that the reconstruction process is at the root of the Lua/Scribunto issue because it was also necessary to use a new Linux (Centos 7) image for the vps and it is therefore quite possible that some obscure but critical Linux or php config setting was lost/changed in the process.
So, can anybody point to a server module or config setting that is known to affect Scributo/Lua editing and that is not readily apparent from existing MW and Lua documentation? - which I have studied exhaustively though NOT to say that I have not missed something glaringly obvious of course - as you do :-)) Thanks in anticipation Peter Presland On 10/12/2018 17:27, Peter Presland wrote: > I have hit a problem with the Scribunto extension which, after a good > few hours digging, I have not been able to track down and fix.
