Bukkit

I am lucky that i had a backup but everybody lost their ranks. Switching back to #554 seemed to have worked again.

The groups and permissions still existed, just the group and permission assignments were gone. You should have a look into that

EDIT: Actually its still not really fixed, even tho i have linked all of my servers to 1 database some servers don't have the same group assignments anymore.. what can be the cause of this?

EDIT2: Ok this is behaving really really really strange, when i restart 1 of the server where the ranks do not work and check for a player permission, everything seems to be ok all his ranks are there, but as soon as the player tries to interact with permissions or anything like that all his ranks get removed and he is only in the default rank. The strange thing is that on other servers it works perfectly fine with the prefixes and all. I also made sure that All servers use the exact same zPermission build and spigot build. Also what seems really strange is, that the servers where it doesnt work on seem to have their own instance of permissions? If thats the case where are they being saved?

What is going on here?

Error messages from the server log?

@ZerothAngel: Go

Unfortunately no error logs, The permission system itself seems to work perfectly fine but some servers for a strange reason now share another instance of the database and update towards changes equally and also keep the changes after a restart for example, i also checked in the database where these entries are being generated and they are being generated where everything else is, the affected servers just seem to ignore everything else as if the tables have been divided in a way oO?

@ravand: Go

Weird. What version were you on before #554 (the world mirror wildcard one)?

@ZerothAngel: Go

I was on #554 and didn't have any problems with it
do you think that could be a corrupted table or something? Maybe try /perm export and import it again in a different database.

Also that brings up another question, is there a way to define a custom database other than the database from the bukkit.yml ?

@ravand: Go

I don't know what it could be. You say you have other servers pointing to the same database with no issue?

Especially since you say you aren't getting any error messages at all, then I don't think it would be an issue with zPerms.

As for your 2nd question, see the release notes for 1.0.1a.
