Forge Essentials Permissions Problem

[chaogomu]

I'm trying to setup a safe area around my server spawn and can't seem to disable entity interaction and player block breaking.

I've tested it and can't think of what I'm doing wrong.

Here's the text permissions file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3epBGQqvIMyUTh4UlZxS3VWZFU/edit?usp=sharing

What version are you using?

 

[chaogomu]

I'm using version 1.2.1.272

Just a dumb question cause I've done it. When you are testing are you OPed?

 

[chaogomu]

I had thought of that. deoped myself and then used the console to change my group. it didn't work.

 

[chaogomu]

Further testing shows that none of the changes that I've made to any permissions have gone into effect.

This isn't just a zones thing. there are permissions that should be global that are using the installed defaults.

 

[ronan75]

You might want to just wipe the perms you have and start over. You only have to give the perms you want, you wont need to deny as many as you did. They are denied by default.

 

[chaogomu]

Most of that was the default. the main changes were to the zones. The other changes were actually allowing more in some places.

Forge Essentials, I believe, needs a full server restart for changes to be in effect. I could be wrong, though.

 

[chaogomu]

I've restarted my server several times. also reinstalled.

None of my changes to permissions stick. everything is replaced with the generated permissions. Tried importing and that didn't work either. (mainly because it says that '/p import' is an unknown command)

If the changes aren not being saved, it could be the chmod on the files is wrong on the server? So minecraft isn't able to write to the files. Might want to check that.

If you are using a non-bukkit server, there an alternative permissions system and also a protection mod. They are MyTown and its dependency PermissionsEX. Its compatability with ForgeEssentials is not guaranteed

would you happen to know where the chmod is? I am also having troubles with my perms and people not being able to do anything at all.

It's a FTP command you need to run, google it up.
Generally you need to allow access to the ForgeEssentials folder - i haven't used FTP in years so meh
