Need serious help, PEX file is broken?

Hello all, today i was adding an extra rank and somehow broke my permissionsex file. All of the ranks were removed from me and my friends and I'm getting a headache trying to figure this out.

Here's my permissionsex file.

I really need serious help here, I can provide my plugins if needed.

 

Your permission nodes shouldn't be indented as far as they are in your Player, Moderator, and Admin groups. Look at how you have them lined up for CoOwner and Owner; that's how they're supposed to be. The - on the permission nodes should only be 4 spaces in so that they line up with the p in permissions: .

 

I fixed that but somehow I still don't have a rank on my server.

 

Are you sure you don't have a rank, or do you just mean that your prefix isn't showing up? Because if it's the prefix, you also need to have a chat plugin installed for that to work. PermissionsEx doesn't do the prefixes all by itself.

 

I do have essentialschat, the prefixes should be working, or do I need something else. I'm thinking about just doing a fresh reinstall of groupmanager instead of PEX. Could that also fix the issue?

 

You have Groupmanager and PEX installed at the same time?

 

Of course not.

 

PEX works fine with EssentialsChat, it shouldn't be preventing your prefixes from working. How do you have chat set up in your essentials config file?

And yeah, you could switch to GroupManager if you want to, but idk if that would fix it or not, since there's no reason PEX shouldn't work with your EssentialsChat. Your wording of that question though, asking if you should reinstall groupmanager instead of asking if you should install it makes it sound like you already have it. If that is the case, you cannot have two permissions plugins on the server at the same time and expect everything to work. Either get rid of GroupManager or get rid of PEX, but you cannot keep them both. Edit: I just saw your last post clarifying your question. We were just confused because of your wording.

 

Okay so now PEX is unhooking itself from vault and saying this:
As of version 1.21, PEX requires a version of Bukkit with UUID support to function (>1.7.5). Please download a non-UUID version of PermissionsEx to continue. Should I update my server to the development build (1.7.9)? EDIT: Fixed that problem but I'm not owner on my server even when it says it my my new permissions file here:
