Factions Server Beginner and Problems

My server has been having a ton of problems since I've had it. I have the factions plugin and massive core downloaded and my server says they are valid plugins when I go into the server itself but there are many spontaneous errors such as "Error occurred while enabling Factions v2.11.0 (Is it up to date?)" and the /f command not working. Please someone help/respond and I will respond with any additional details needed. Also, remember I am a beginner and on a MAC OS so please explain what you are saying in grave detail.
Thanks

@Neonsmlr
May i ask why you are still on 1.7.10? Your versions of Factions and Massive Core might not be compatible with this version.

I also noticed that this issue is within your stacktrace
[09:26:53 WARN]: Server permissions file permissions.yml is not valid YAML.

 

I will redownload the right versions of factions but it didn't work before. For now, could you tell me how to fix the permissions problem. (PEX isn't working for me) @FrostDevStudios

Never mind Thanks for the help! It worked!

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

 

@Neonsmlr
we need to see your permission.yml in your servers directory, also are you using the right version of Pex for your Server version?

This is why the bukkit community recommends staying updated with the newest version. To reduce the amount of incompatibilities within servers. @Zombie_Striker wrote a great article of why you should stay up-to-date with bukkit.

@Neonsmlr
Glad To Help!

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

 

@FrostDevStudios my permissions.yml is completely blank

 

@Neonsmlr
Which permissions.yml?

Your PEX permissions.yml or
You Server permissions.yml?

@FrostDevStudios I fixed the PEX too. Same problem.
