Permissions does nothing, commands are based on OPs not permission file

So I'm pretty new to bukkit and the whole permissions thing, personally I liked hMod better but had no choice to switch when 1.3 came around. Anyway, it seems that my permission file has no effect on what commands people can use, it is completely dependent on whether or not they are OP. If you are not OP you can't use even the most basic commands, even if I give you permissions in the world.yml file.

How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Here is the world.yml file

Code:

# System is no longer used, but may become used in the future
# Copies is for multiple-world support
#   Put the name of the world you wish for it to be a clone of, otherwise leave it empty.
#   Does not work for the default world.

    permissions:
        system: default
        copies:

# Groups can contain inheritance.
#   To make a group inherit the permissions from another 
#   group simply place the groups name in the "inheritance:" like so:
#
#   Example: 
#       inheritance:
#           - Default
##
#   All permissions including the asterisks must be placed in single quotes.
#   like so:
#
#       - 'general.spawn'
#
#   Otherwise errors will happen!

The problem is that you're overloading. Admin doesn't need to inherit anything, since * gives it everything already. There's a bug with Permissions that makes overloading break.

 

Well I tried taking out out the inheritance but it did nothing.
Here is my new world.yml file:

I'm having the same problem as Trevo4311

 

Check for tabs?

 

I checked every single space to make sure and there are no tabs.

 

I tested this and it seems this is related the problems I'm having. I set my friend to 'Admin' with * permissions yet he can't do anything.

 

I set myself as an Admin with all permissions and unless I'm an OP I can't do anything.

 

Same.

 

Here's the thing guys: it sounds like Permissions isn't loaded. This is usually due to problems with the config file. Post your server.log - just the section where you started up the server to where it says done, please.

 

I just ran my server again and copied the bottom part of the log. From what I can read it says its loaded ok:

i was having the same problem except i couldn't access the shop even if i was an OP. i had to rename the please-rename-me.yml file. i really assumed it wouldn't be that counter-intuitive of a setup lol.

anyway, is permissions not compatible with craftbukkit essentials? that kinda sucks because i needed permissions to do a certain shop mod.. bleh lol

 

My server.props world name is 'world' which also matches config file inside the permissions folder which is 'world.yml' and since the plugin says it's loaded it must be something else that is causing it.

 

Well, shit - I'm stumped. What I'd do at this point is start removing plugins until stuff worked.

Correct - the Essentials team chose the betamax format, it seems.

 

I am having the same problem as everyone else, :,(

 

Me too
EDIT: I have tested to remove all other plugins, one after one. Surprisingly, Permissions still doesn't work. Kind of weird.

 

I am using Essentials v225, CB Build 449, and Permissions v2.0. Everything works fine, so if you really need them to work, use them rolled back a bit.

 

I upgraded to Permissions 2.5.1 and everything seems to work fine (I can use all but the built-in bukkit commands without requiring to be set as an OP).
