Plugin Help Issues with PEX

I have recently started a spigot server. All the plugins are working, and the server is running fine. I've been trying to set up PEX, and when I try to use a PEX command, it comes up with 'Error in Command Syntax. Check command help". Nobody wants to help me and I cannot find another thread with the same problem.

Edit: none of the groups are even showing up next to users. I have made the groups and set prefixes but it won't show. Most commands are working

 

Can you actually say what you are typing and paste or pastebin your config? That would help a lot with "nobody wanting to help you".

 

do /pl and see if you get PermissionsEx. if this is on red it's may the wrong Version of minecraft. i am recommending to use the installer plugin.

 

I don't think Bukit gives support to non-bukkit builds, but there is also that if you are using spigot 1.8, they said that some 1.7.* plugins won't work, and they created a new PEX for spigot 1.8.

EDIT; I am mistaken of the Bukkit thing.

 

Actually before I even mentioned my problem, nobody would help. I'd go around asking my friends and even people on servers if anyone is good with PEX. I either got no response or someone telling me that they "don't help other servers". I'm new to all this so how was I supposed to know to upload my config? When I get to my computer, I'll do so.

My friend has the same version of mc, spigot and PEX as I do and he is currently running the server fine.

I'll still double check my version and see if it is wrong. My spigot is fine, my server worked in its vanilla form, and my other plugins seem to be working.

multiserver:
use-netevents: true
permissions:
debug: false
allowOps: false
user-add-groups-last: false
log-players: false
createUserRecords: false
backend: file
informplayers:

basedir: plugins/PermissionsEx
backends:

updater: true
alwaysUpdate: false

I checked the pl, a few plugins including PEX is out of date.

EDIT by Timtower: merged posts, use the edit button instead of double posting

 

i mean minecraft Version. maybe you using the 1.8 version when your server is on 1.7.5 like mine. if dont, try to install and uninstall the plugin maybe that will help.

 

@SuperGamesBros

right. same version of minecraft and spigot.

 

I also need help. Iv'e edited my config multiple times but when i try to use the /pex command nothing happens. I don't know if i entered the config wrong or not.

@Lucas.J.Serafin Looks like the config is formatted correctly, except for one thing. The indentation. There isn't any. You need to indent your config for different sections, and you have to use spaces instead of tabs.
