Rank reset after map change/reset
cafemarsh:
My ULib/ULX versions (run "ulx version" in console):
ULib v2.63
ULX v3.73
Game mode(s) I am having this problem on: Trouble in Terrorist Town and Sandbox
Lua errors shown in console, if any:
--- Code: ---no errors
--- End code ---
Every level change or server reset, my rank is lost as well as any other players on the server. I've tried to explore fixes and I'm not getting anything so I came for help.
One intriguing line I've encountered is: "Groups file was not formatted correctly. Attempting to fix and backing original" and it proceeds to say it is backed up to data/ulib/groups_backup.txt, yet there is no backup in that folder.
Furthermore, I should provide that these errors began after the switch to a VPS and it is running Ubuntu 16.04. I am using the standard .zip versions of ULX and ULib, not the SVN or workshop version.
Please let me know if there's any further information I can provide.
I DID ATTEMPT ulx debuginfo AND NO FILE WAS CREATED.

Before I begin to try to solve this, you say you're using an Ubuntu 16.04 system? Make sure all of the files relating to ULib and ULX (and every file/folder while you're at it) are completely lowercase and don't contain spaces. Linux is very picky when it comes to Garry's mod and caps/spaces in file and folder names. This could be the reason for your errors. If that doesn't help, try completely reinstalling ulx and ULib, making sure the files are in lowercase.
Edit: Also the reason you're losing your rank is because that backup file cannot be found. It's finding out why the invalid format/backup not being created which will lead us to the answer.
Edit2: Also be sure that the /data folder is chmod 777. The server must be able to write to the file.

To be honest with you, I didn't even consider a chmod 777. That fixed it lmao.
While I've got ya though, should I 777 my addons directory for workshop addons?
iViscosity:
It would be useful to 777 any folder that may need writing to. If your add-ons are manually loaded, no need, but new add-ons may need it.
JamminR:
I'm no linux guru, but I really wouldn't give anonymous user read/write/execute access.
Start with high perms, then work way down.
I'd personally start with 770. If that didn't work, 775.
Linux gurus/computer scientists can give better advice than me if used to the *nix perm systems, but, yeah, I know and am paranoid enough not to use 777 except in cases of extreme emergencies.
