Following are some common issues with the Essentials config files and fixes. if you don't see one you need please leave a request for one, or add some of your own!

I have just installed or upgraded Essentials and the config.ini file is empty![]

Yes, immediately following installation or upgrade of the mod, you need to start your server then shut it down again after a few seconds - this will populate the config files with all of the data.

A Feature I have setup isn't working![]

Check and double check the configs you changed for spelling mistakes and correct syntax - this is the most common reason something wouldn't be working after editing the config files.

I am about to upgrade. how do I keep my settings?[]

Before you upgrade, take copies of all the files you have edited, OneNote or Notepad++ are great for this, then copy the contents back in after you have upgraded - a great time saver.
