Setting up server - Permissions, dropchest, general stuff. :/

This is my first time setting up a server through Bukkit. It's quite frustrating really. Nowhere, that I can find, gives in-depth description of what nodes are and how to use them and what all the settings and nodes are. Particularly for permissions. How do we give someone permissions without knowing all the nodes we can use? Really.

All the same, this is what my sever yells at me when I start it:

What am I doing wrong? ;-;

And don't tell me I'm not cut out for this - everyone has to learn somewhere.

I would really just appreciate any help anyone can give.

 

(i removed the earlier posting so i wont get warned for double posting, and because it was not relevant enough to keep anyhow)

first off, i recommend using MC server GUI for automated backups, and it saves creating a .bat file to run the server, and it looks better, and all kinds of stuff.

ive been using it for a while, its quite nice.

second: all the plugins in the plugin folder must be .jar, and i see some of them are .zip. you must unpack them.
third: im not sure what permission plugin that is, but its VERY recommended(and pretty much, after a while, you will be forced to) use bukkitpermissions

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ad...-1-official-default-groups-plugin-1000.26785/

theres a FAQ there, too. also, its recommended to get superpermsbridge.jar too.
after that, ignore the permissions.yml in your root bukkit folder, and go to plugins\PermissionsBukkit. there you will find a config.yml, and thats the file you want to put your permissions under. there is also an example of permissions in it, and you pretty much NEED to learn from there. heres another small example that works:

(12 spaces)something.important.admin: true
(4 spaces)member:
(8 spaces)permissions:
(12 spaces)permissions.build: true
(12 spaces)something.important.admin: false

EDIT: the permissions example i put here broke. hold on. fix'd. kinda.
instead of (4 spaces) you just put 4 spaces... cant post space spams in here.
important things to note:
NEVER use tabs for .yml files in bukkit.
if anything is wrong with the .yml file, it will give you an error in the console.
"anything is wrong" includes: a single extra space or missing space in the file, or extra/missing character anywhere.
its recommended to use notepad+ to edit the .yml files for bukkit, and check the "change tabs to spaces" in the options there.

GL, let me know if you need more help.

 

Oh wow thank you so much. I'll go through all of that tomorrow and fix everything and we'll see how I stand. I'm too tired to do it now. XD

 

np. im really not sure how long before i come back to this thread, so PM me if you get tired of waiting for people.
but im not exactly your mastermind bukkiter, keep in mind there are a lot of things that i wont be able to help you with.

edit: but im doing what i can
edit2: nevermind, im watching this thread, so no need to PM me.
