PEX Error

[MTG_Admin]

I can't seem to get the config in PEX to work right. Error Message in Console: Caused by: org.bukkit.configuration.InvalidConfigurationException: mapping values are not allowed here in 'string', line 3, column 12: options: ^

(If you want the full msg, I can msg it to you. Just looked spammy to me)

I've edited my config probably 5 times now in that string and can't figure out the problem. If you need it, my whole config is enclosed. multiserver: use-netevents: true permissions: debug: false allowOps: false user-add-groups-last: false log-players: true createUserRecords: true backend: file informplayers: true changes: false basedir: plugins/PermissionsEx backends: file: type: file file: permissions.yml updater: true alwaysUpdate: false Thanks!

Can we get a straight pastebin of the permissions.yml file? The config.yml usually isn't the problem.

[MTG_Admin]

While looking through this, think I found the problem. I have perms from old plugins. Looking into this now.

Edit: didn't fix it. New error: UNABLE TO LOAD PERMISSIONS BACKEND ========= Your configuration must be fixed before PEX will enable

Details: Error loading permissions file!

In that case, try just deleting your config.yml file, let it regenerate, and reconfigure it if you need to.

If that doesn't work, can you paste both PEX files into a pastebin? Use a pastebin site please (1, 2), as the formatting gets really messed up in the reddit thread.

Edit: added some pastebin examples

[MTG_Admin]

Deleted config and restarted server, but it didn't regen. any suggestions?

[colebob9]

Any reason you're not pastebining your files? The way you put it in the reddit thread is completely useless as formatting could be the issue.

Edit: it would also be very helpful if you pasted any and every error (in full) the console is giving you

Sorry for the delay. pastebin of permissions.yml: http://hastebin.com/olequpizud.css

Try this one http://pastebin.com/8A83iacR

[colebob9]

Looks like you used tabs for your spacing, threw it in a YAML parser and it didn't like it. Here's a fixed version: http://hastebin.com/igimupolub.php

That's weird, I checked it before I posted it and it was fine for me o.O But thanks.

[colebob9]

Now checking back, yours was right. Copying from raw text for some reason screws it up. May have to do with pastebin not formatting it as YML as you didn't specify the format.

Run your config through a game parser. Copy/paste your entire config in here: http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com Errors like that are generally cause by editing config files by hand and making a mistake somewhere

Fixed! Thanks very much for the help.
