Question Essentials.yml problem

Hello!

I have a problem with my config.yml file.

When I open it, it is only three lines wich is:

plugin-channel: world_info
inform-player: false
encoding: UTF-8

Does anyone have a clue how to solve this?

 

stop server, delete the yml file, restart - let it regenerate a new one

wait - essentials.yml file?

What are you expecting the content to be (essentials config.yml is the full config file)

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

 

I have tried that and it doesn't work.
I expect it to be something like this:

essentials (open) essentials (close)

Essentials' config.yml

# If you want to use special characters in this document, such as accented letters, you MUST save the file as UTF-8, not ANSI.
# If you receive an error when Essentials loads, ensure that:
# - No tabs are present: YAML only allows spaces
# - Indents are correct: YAML hierarchy is based entirely on indentation
# - You have "escaped" all apostrophes in your text: If you want to write "don't", for example, write "don''t" instead (note the doubled apostrophe)
# - Text with symbols is enclosed in single or double quotation marks

right - thats the config.yml file, not essentials.yml

 

Right... Still, do you know what may cause the problem?

 

if you mean "this is my config.sys" for "essentials' then the guess is, the version of "essentials" you are running isn't the one you think you are running...
