Help with permissionsbukkit congfig.yml?

Hey, so I've been running a small server with just some friends for a while now, but as its now grown to about 6 players I'm finding that having everyone as OP in order to use commands isn't really a good idea anymore, so I tried to set up permissionsbukkit and the config.yml

I copied and pasted the permissions in from online, adding the spacing and the :true|false ending, and tried to copy the format in the examples.
The console is telling me: [SEVERE] [PermissionsBukkit] Unable to load configuration! and now players which are not OP are now unable to make any commands, even things like /rules, getting the message: 'You do not have access to that command.'

I realise this is a classic noob help thread but I can't work out where it's going wrong, and can't find any answers through google. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone who's good with this sort of stuff could take a look to see if there's anything obvious going wrong. The default and untrusted are supposed to be the same too.

Pastebin of the config.yml: http://pastebin.com/iMfq5Hfw

Thanks a lot

 

Your permission nodes are 6 spaces away from the side, They must be 12. Check the example PermissionsBukkit dev gives you...

Code:

users:
    ConspiracyWizard:
        permissions:
            permissions.example: true
        groups:
        - admin
groups:
    default:
        permissions:
            permissions.build: false
    admin:
        permissions:
            permissions.*: true
        inheritance:
        - user
    user:
        permissions:
            permissions.build: true
        worlds:
            creative:
                coolplugin.item: true
        inheritance:
        - default
messages:
    build: '&cYou do not have permission to build here.'

Hey, thanks for replying. I tried to fix it according to the example you quoted, but it's still giving me:
[SEVERE] [PermissionsBukkit] Unable to load configuration!

Pastebin of the config.yml now: http://pastebin.com/71MadG7N
Did some further refinement since but still not working: http://pastebin.com/sXAD54FD

 

My recommendation is to use PermissionsEx!

 

Thanks, I'll give it a go if I can't work this out soon.

I see the latest version is for game verion 1.2.3, is it fully functional with 1.2.5?

I just tried pasting my current config.yml (http://pastebin.com/sXAD54FD) into an online yaml parser (http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com) and get the following error message, if any of you can make sense of it..?

Code:

ERROR:
 
while parsing a block mapping
  in "<unicode string>", line 25, column 5:
        ConspiracyWizard:
        ^
expected <block end>, but found '<block sequence start>'
  in "<unicode string>", line 34, column 8:
          - admin
          ^

I've done it! For anyone who's interested, the final working file is: http://pastebin.com/H2zykkRE

For anyone struggling with this in future I recommend using the parser, http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com to check your file and give an indication to where its going wrong.

Thanks for your help Harry8550

Edit: ahh didn't see your reply then, but that works too! Thanks!

 

Your very welcome, i'm glad you got it sorted

 

guys i need help i got the final "working" file but it still doesnt work for me... i am using permissions bukkit but ive tried different ones but no matter what i do i can't get the permissions to work.

 

blufat2 PM me and i can help you fix it (cause your highjacking someone elses thread)

 

I was getting the same error message. The solution for me was that i was using notepad++ and when i pressed return it would automatically insert tabs, so i deleted the tabs and replaced them with spaces then it would compile properly, hope this helps other users using notepad++ and permissionsBukkit.

 

it does not need to be. you can use two space per indent, but the rest of the config
must be two spaces per indent
