Thanks. Actually, although I like to share these kind of things, it was also useful for me today. There was an issue, and I could solve it within minutes by using my own guide
Thanks Flopp for pointing to the errata in the guide. I will adjust it accordingly.
About the make file. Indeed, I had the same formatting issue as you described, I was hoping that using the "code code/" option on this board that problem would be solved. Apparently not. Don't know hpw to deal with that, but inserting a few tabs is indeed the solution.
3c and 3d: I will adjust the guide for that.
Although the change executable permission command should be: sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
4a. The error means, most likely, that the file can't be found
That's indeed correct, you have to create it yourself. I found it on the Domoticz wiki.
Please find below my version of JSON.lua and make sure it's placed in the same directory as you other lua scripts. /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua

-- local lua_value = JSON:decode(raw_json_text)

--
-- DECODING (from a JSON string to a Lua table)
--
--
-- JSON = assert(loadfile "JSON.lua")() -- one-time load of the routines
--
-- local lua_value = JSON:decode(raw_json_text)
--
-- If the JSON text is for an object or an array, e.g.
-- { "what": "books", "count": 3 }
-- or
-- [ "Larry", "Curly", "Moe" ]
--
-- the result is a Lua table, e.g.
-- { what = "books", count = 3 }
-- or
-- { "Larry", "Curly", "Moe" }
--
--
-- The encode and decode routines accept an optional second argument,
-- "etc", which is not used during encoding or decoding, but upon error
-- is passed along to error handlers. It can be of any type (including nil).
--
--
--
-- ERROR HANDLING
--
-- With most errors during decoding, this code calls
--
-- JSON:onDecodeError(message, text, location, etc)
--
-- with a message about the error, and if known, the JSON text being
-- parsed and the byte count where the problem was discovered. You can
-- replace the default JSON:onDecodeError() with your own function.
--
-- The default onDecodeError() merely augments the message with data
-- about the text and the location if known (and if a second 'etc'
-- argument had been provided to decode(), its value is tacked onto the
-- message as well), and then calls JSON.assert(), which itself defaults
-- to Lua's built-in assert(), and can also be overridden.
--
-- For example, in an Adobe Lightroom plugin, you might use something like
--
-- function JSON:onDecodeError(message, text, location, etc)
-- LrErrors.throwUserError("Internal Error: invalid JSON data")
-- end
--
-- or even just
--
-- function JSON.assert(message)
-- LrErrors.throwUserError("Internal Error: " .. message)
-- end
--
-- If JSON:decode() is passed a nil, this is called instead:
--
-- JSON:onDecodeOfNilError(message, nil, nil, etc)
--
-- and if JSON:decode() is passed HTML instead of JSON, this is called:
--
-- JSON:onDecodeOfHTMLError(message, text, nil, etc)
--
-- The use of the fourth 'etc' argument allows stronger coordination
-- between decoding and error reporting, especially when you provide your
-- own error-handling routines. Continuing with the the Adobe Lightroom
-- plugin example:
--
-- function JSON:onDecodeError(message, text, location, etc)
-- local note = "Internal Error: invalid JSON data"
-- if type(etc) = 'table' and etc.photo then
-- note = note .. " while processing for " .. etc.photo:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
-- end
-- LrErrors.throwUserError(note)
-- end
--
-- :
-- :
--
-- for i, photo in ipairs(photosToProcess) do
-- :
-- :
-- local data = JSON:decode(someJsonText, { photo = photo })
-- :
-- :
-- end
--
--
--
--
--
-- DECODING AND STRICT TYPES
--
-- Because both JSON objects and JSON arrays are converted to Lua tables,
-- it's not normally possible to tell which original JSON type a
-- particular Lua table was derived from, or guarantee decode-encode
-- round-trip equivalency.
--
-- However, if you enable strictTypes, e.g.
--
-- JSON = assert(loadfile "JSON.lua")() --load the routines
-- JSON.strictTypes = true
--
-- then the Lua table resulting from the decoding of a JSON object or
-- JSON array is marked via Lua metatable, so that when re-encoded with
-- JSON:encode() it ends up as the appropriate JSON type.
--
-- (This is not the default because other routines may not work well with
-- tables that have a metatable set, for example, Lightroom API calls.)
--
--
-- ENCODING (from a lua table to a JSON string)
--
-- JSON = assert(loadfile "JSON.lua")() -- one-time load of the routines
--
-- local raw_json_text = JSON:encode(lua_table_or_value)
-- local pretty_json_text = JSON:encode_pretty(lua_table_or_value) -- "pretty printed" version for human readability
-- local custom_pretty = JSON:encode(lua_table_or_value, etc, { pretty = true, indent = "| ", align_keys = false })
--
-- On error during encoding, this code calls:
--
-- JSON:onEncodeError(message, etc)
--
-- which you can override in your local JSON object.
--
-- The 'etc' in the error call is the second argument to encode()
-- and encode_pretty(), or nil if it wasn't provided.
--
--
-- PRETTY-PRINTING
--
-- An optional third argument, a table of options, allows a bit of
-- configuration about how the encoding takes place:
--
-- pretty = JSON:encode(val, etc, {
-- pretty = true, -- if false, no other options matter
-- indent = " ", -- this provides for a three-space indent per nesting level
-- align_keys = false, -- see below
-- })
--
-- encode() and encode_pretty() are identical except that encode_pretty()
-- provides a default options table if none given in the call:
--
-- { pretty = true, align_keys = false, indent = " " }
--
-- For example, if
--
-- JSON:encode(data)
--
-- produces:
--
-- {"city":"Kyoto","climate":{"avg_temp":16,"humidity":"high","snowfall":"minimal"},"country":"Japan","wards":11}
--
-- then
--
-- JSON:encode_pretty(data)
--
-- produces:
--
-- {
-- "city": "Kyoto",
-- "climate": {
-- "avg_temp": 16,
-- "humidity": "high",
-- "snowfall": "minimal"
-- },
-- "country": "Japan",
-- "wards": 11
-- }
--
-- The following three lines return identical results:
-- JSON:encode_pretty(data)
-- JSON:encode_pretty(data, nil, { pretty = true, align_keys = false, indent = " " })
-- JSON:encode (data, nil, { pretty = true, align_keys = false, indent = " " })
--
-- An example of setting your own indent string:
--
-- JSON:encode_pretty(data, nil, { pretty = true, indent = "| " })
--
-- produces:
--
-- {
-- | "city": "Kyoto",
-- | "climate": {
-- | | "avg_temp": 16,
-- | | "humidity": "high",
-- | | "snowfall": "minimal"
-- | },
-- | "country": "Japan",
-- | "wards": 11
-- }
--
-- An example of setting align_keys to true:
--
-- JSON:encode_pretty(data, nil, { pretty = true, indent = " ", align_keys = true })
--
-- produces:
--
-- {
-- "city": "Kyoto",
-- "climate": {
-- "avg_temp": 16,
-- "humidity": "high",
-- "snowfall": "minimal"
-- },
-- "country": "Japan",
-- "wards": 11
-- }
--
-- which I must admit is kinda ugly, sorry. This was the default for
-- encode_pretty() prior to version 20141223.14.
--
--
-- AMBIGUOUS SITUATIONS DURING THE ENCODING
--
-- During the encode, if a Lua table being encoded contains both string
-- and numeric keys, it fits neither JSON's idea of an object, nor its
-- idea of an array. To get around this, when any string key exists (or
-- when non-positive numeric keys exist), numeric keys are converted to
-- strings.
--
-- For example,
-- JSON:encode({ "one", "two", "three", SOMESTRING = "some string" }))
-- produces the JSON object
-- {"1":"one","2":"two","3":"three","SOMESTRING":"some string"}
--
-- To prohibit this conversion and instead make it an error condition, set
-- JSON.noKeyConversion = true
--
--
-- SUMMARY OF METHODS YOU CAN OVERRIDE IN YOUR LOCAL LUA JSON OBJECT
--
-- assert
-- onDecodeError
-- onDecodeOfNilError
-- onDecodeOfHTMLError
-- onEncodeError
--
-- If you want to create a separate Lua JSON object with its own error handlers,
-- you can reload JSON.lua or use the :new() method.

-- Version history:
--
-- 20141223.14 The encode_pretty() routine produced fine results for small datasets, but isn't really
-- appropriate for anything large, so with help from Alex Aulbach I've made the encode routines
-- more flexible, and changed the default encode_pretty() to be more generally useful.
--
-- Added a third 'options' argument to the encode() and encode_pretty() routines, to control
-- how the encoding takes place.
--
-- Updated docs to add assert() call to the loadfile() line, just as good practice so that
-- if there is a problem loading JSON.lua, the appropriate error message will percolate up.
--
-- 20140920.13 Put back (in a way that doesn't cause warnings about unused variables) the author string,
-- so that the source of the package, and its version number, are visible in compiled copies.
--
-- 20140911.12 Minor lua cleanup.
-- Fixed internal reference to 'JSON.noKeyConversion' to reference 'self' instead of 'JSON'.
-- (Thanks to SmugMug's David Parry for these.)
--
-- 20140418.11 JSON nulls embedded within an array were being ignored, such that
-- ["1",null,null,null,null,null,"seven"],
-- would return
-- {1,"seven"}
-- It's now fixed to properly return
-- {1, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, "seven"}
-- Thanks to "haddock" for catching the error.
--
-- 20140116.10 The user's JSON.assert() wasn't always being used. Thanks to "blue" for the heads up.
--
-- 20131118.9 Update for Lua 5.3... it seems that tostring(2/1) produces "2.0" instead of "2",
-- and this caused some problems.
--
-- 20131031.8 Unified the code for encode() and encode_pretty(); they had been stupidly separate,
-- and had of course diverged (encode_pretty didn't get the fixes that encode got, so
-- sometimes produced incorrect results; thanks to Mattie for the heads up).
--
-- Handle encoding tables with non-positive numeric keys (unlikely, but possible).
--
-- If a table has both numeric and string keys, or its numeric keys are inappropriate
-- (such as being non-positive or infinite), the numeric keys are turned into
-- string keys appropriate for a JSON object. So, as before,
-- JSON:encode({ "one", "two", "three" })
-- produces the array
-- ["one","two","three"]
-- but now something with mixed key types like
-- JSON:encode({ "one", "two", "three", SOMESTRING = "some string" }))
-- instead of throwing an error produces an object:
-- {"1":"one","2":"two","3":"three","SOMESTRING":"some string"}
--
-- To maintain the prior throw-an-error semantics, set
-- JSON.noKeyConversion = true
--
-- 20131004.7 Release under a Creative Commons CC-BY license, which I should have done from day one, sorry.
--
-- 20130120.6 Comment update: added a link to the specific page on my blog where this code can
-- be found, so that folks who come across the code outside of my blog can find updates
-- more easily.
--
-- 20111207.5 Added support for the 'etc' arguments, for better error reporting.
--
-- 20110731.4 More feedback from David Kolf on how to make the tests for Nan/Infinity system independent.
--
-- 20110730.3 Incorporated feedback from David Kolf at http://lua-users.org/wiki/JsonModules:
--
-- * When encoding lua for JSON, Sparse numeric arrays are now handled by
-- spitting out full arrays, such that
-- JSON:encode({"one", "two", [10] = "ten"})
-- returns
-- ["one","two",null,null,null,null,null,null,null,"ten"]
--
-- In 20100810.2 and earlier, only up to the first non-null value would have been retained.
--
-- * When encoding lua for JSON, numeric value NaN gets spit out as null, and infinity as "1+e9999".
-- Version 20100810.2 and earlier created invalid JSON in both cases.
--
-- * Unicode surrogate pairs are now detected when decoding JSON.
--
-- 20100810.2 added some checking to ensure that an invalid Unicode character couldn't leak in to the UTF-8 encoding
--
-- 20100731.1 initial public release
