How To Do Cross-Server Permissions?

This question may seem abit hard for you to answer, so, I'll explain what I am asking in depth. Lets say I use PEX and Essentials Group Manager. In an OP-Prison server, I use Essentials Group Manager for the A, B, C, D, etc. ranks, and I try to use PEX for the cross-server permissions and stuff. I use MySQL database and that. This didn't work as planned. Group Manager just over-rid the PEX. I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to do cross-server permissions, and how. Thanks!

 

#1 - Pick one or the other regarding a permission plugin. Do NOT try to use two at a time...it won't work.

#2 - I know PEX has the ability to use a database. You could have each server read/write to the same (MySQL) database.

Example please, sorry, I don't see what you're exactly saying.

 

Ambamore2000 convert your group manager permissions to pex.

 

Skionz And thwn what do I do?

 

Ambamore2000 use a database

 

Skionz Yes, I already know that, but how do I make that cross-server? Doesn-t make sense to me.

 

Ambamore2000 connect both servers to your database in PEX and then just use the permissions that are in that database.

 

Skionz I'll try, but I still don't get it.

Skionz Hi, I'm stuck on how to add the database to pex. I'm stuck on #0. :/ I'm wondering if you can private message on Skype, and then after I find the answer, I post how to do it here?

my skype is "skionzmc" but here is my config for using MySQL in pex

Code:

multiserver:
  use-netevents: true
permissions:
  debug: false
  allowOps: false
  user-add-groups-last: false
  log-players: false
  createUserRecords: false
  backend: sql
  informplayers:
    changes: false
  basedir: plugins/PermissionsEx
  backends:
    file:
      type: file
      file: permissions.yml
    sql:
      driver: mysql
      uri: mysql://**********/database
      user: ****
      password: ************\
      type: sql
updater: true
alwaysUpdate: false

 

Configure PEX's config.yml to use the exact same MySQL database. When both connect to the same database, they will share the same settings/permissions/structure.

I just did a test connection to MySQL and here is a copy of my config with some items renamed for easy of identification:

Code:

multiserver:
  use-netevents: true
permissions:
  debug: false
  allowOps: false
  user-add-groups-last: false
  log-players: false
  createUserRecords: false
  backend: sql
  informplayers:
    changes: false
  backends:
    sql:
      type: sql
      uri: mysql://localhost/minecraftdb
      user: minecraftdbuser
      password: minecraftpass
    file:
      type: file
      file: permissions.yml
updater: true
alwaysUpdate: false

Be sure to set the correct address for "localhost" if the MySQL server is not on the same machine.
"minecraftdb" needs to match the database you have defined for Minecraft in the MySQL server.
"minecraftdbuser" needs to be the database user account that has rights to the specified database name.
"minecraftpass" needs to be the password for that above database user account.

If you need to know how to create the database and user account, I have this tutorial for that.

If you need to know how to install MySQL on an Ubuntu Server, I have this tutorial for that.

Hi need help too.
