Bukkit

Problem: I am the server owner, and have set up my permissions so that I have access to all the commands. Problem is that I cannot use the /help command ingame on my test server. I get the following response every time I try to type in that command: "Error: An invalid default group is defined in config.yml"

I checked my config file, and everything is fine as far as I can tell. It matches the group. What the heck?

That error can only occur if you enter a default group in your config.yml that is not contained within the groups.yml file (it is case sensitive).

It is also possible that you have another plugin installed which is interfering with Privileges' when it starts up. Please provide a full server.log from when the server starts up to when you encounter this problem.

Here's one from my test server, where I compile everything and try to get the plugins to work correctly together.
