Solved PEX Permissions Not Working

I run a server using CraftBukkit 1.7.2 R3 Beta Build. I have the latest version of PEX installed, but the permissions are just not working. This has never happened before and it is forcing me to temporarily whitelist the server. The prefixes and suffixes are working, but when a default tries to perform a command that I know they have access to, the console says they are denied access like they don't have permission.

Here is a copy of my PEX permissions file: http://pastebin.com/pQXyRK4Z

Thank you!

 

Have you run it through a YAML validator?

 

Hi, I'm having problems with pex, as well. when i run my server, it says, "UNABLE TO LOAD PERMISSIONS BACKEND Your configuation must be fixed before PEX will enable details: Error loading permissions file!" Here's a copy of of permissions.yml: http://pastebin.com/wBkLR5Xv Any help, please and thanks.

 

Not sure if capital letters help, but you can change them to lower case to see if that helps

 

kv13 did you edit your PEX config at all? Did you touch the permissions file outside the plugins folder? Try running the PEX permissions file in a YAML validator.

And I am not having any error reports so I don't think I should put it through the validator, but I'll do it anyway. I will also try the capital letter thing.

There is nothing wrong with the file.

Ok I figured out what isn't working. If someone was to join my server now, they would be fine. But if I was to add or set someone's group, it would make their file in the permissions file. But everybody in the permissions file cant do anything. So in this case my admins and donators.

ShadowCrafter829 Try using this one: http://pastebin.com/GbiFiZHz You had prefixes, suffixes, and inheritances all under options and none of them belong there, they get their own sections. I also cleaned up some of your inheritances; you had quite a few redundancies.

kv13 Fixed: http://pastebin.com/n7xyVq5w You forgot to surround your prefixes and rank value numbers with ' marks. The rank values needed to be indented a little more. I also added inheritances so that you don't need to keep repeating permission nodes.

 

Thank you so much. Hopefully it works. JaguarJo
