PermissionsEx not working! Help!!!! D:

I have been trying to find a solution for this problem for hours! Please someone help me!

PermissionsEx is not working. In /plugin the text is red and whenever I type something in the permissions.yml file it also turns red! I have installed the Kits plugin for my server, and I have put down a sign that gives me a kit, but my friends that are not admins "Don't have the permission".

I checked on the "commands and permissions" part of the plugin page: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/kits/pages/commands-and-permissions/ and it said "kits.sign : Allows players to use [kit] signs", so I put kits.sign in my permissions.yml, but it's still not working!

Here's my permissions.yml:

groups:
Player:
default: true
prefix: '[PLAYER] '
permissions:
- modifyworld.*
- commandbook.who
- commandbook.motd
- commandbook.rules
- commandbook.time.check
- commandbook.spawn
- commandbook.warp.teleport
- commandbook.warp.list
- commandbook.msg
- commandbook.away
- commandbook.whereami
- commandbook.whereami.compass
- commandbook.home.teleport
- commandbook.home.set
- kits.sign


Admin:
default: false
prefix: '[Admin] '
permissions:
- bukkit.command.plugins
- commandbook.*
inheritance:
- Member

Owner:
default: false
prefix: '§l§4[Owner]§4§l '
permissions:
- permissions.*
inheritance:
- Admin
users:
lord_valdemort
- Owner
permissions:
- permissions.*
- - commandbook.kick

And here's my latest start up server log:

Update:

I found some tabs, so I replaced them with spaces ._.

groups:

permissions:

inheritance:
- Member

Owner:
default: false
prefix: '[Owner] '
permissions:
- permissions.*
inheritance:

users:

I forgot to add, removing the tabs made the red text go away in Notepad++, but not in /plugins

Anyone....!!??

Seems to be an error with the config on line 4.
Take a look at this:

Code:

Caused by: org.bukkit.configuration.InvalidConfigurationException: mapping value
s are not allowed here
in "<string>", line 4, column 13:
prefix: '[PLAYER] '
^

Edit:
After looking closer at it, it looks pretty weird.

Code:

users:
lord_valdemort

Pretty sure it should be something more like this (I may be wrong)

Code:

users:
- lord_valdemort

The error you are getting is caused by a spacing issue. Most likely caused by ling 3 starting in column 12/14 or something along those lines. You are also inheriting from the Member group in your Admin group but you don't have a Member group. Here is a fixed version of what you have above for you to look at and/or use:

Code:

groups:
  Player:
    default: true
    prefix: '[PLAYER] '
    permissions:
    - modifyworld.*
    - commandbook.who
    - commandbook.motd
    - commandbook.rules
    - commandbook.time.check
    - commandbook.spawn
    - commandbook.warp.teleport
    - commandbook.warp.list
    - commandbook.msg
    - commandbook.away
    - commandbook.whereami
    - commandbook.whereami.compass
    - commandbook.home.teleport
    - commandbook.home.set
    - kits.sign


  Admin:
    default: false
    prefix: '[Admin] '
    permissions:
    - bukkit.command.plugins
    - commandbook.*
    inheritance:
    - Player

  Owner:
    default: false
    prefix: '[Owner] '
    permissions:
    - permissions.*
    inheritance:
    - Admin
users:

    permissions:
    - permissions.*

Thanks so much! It finally works! But of course, I have another problem now ._. although this I think should be very easy to fix. When I de-op myself, I can't break anything and I can't place anything! (which causes ALOT of problems since it's a Creative server) I thought - modifyworld.* allowed this, but it seames I was wrong.... what do I do XD

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Since you are also running EssentialsAntiBuild, you will need to give everyone the essentials.build permission.

 

My dearest thanks to you sir!
