Server Permissions Issues

I am terrible with this kind of coding stuff. So please, bear with me.

I decided to download the plugin PermissionsEX, and it has not been working the day I downloaded it. I realized this issue pretty quick, so I decided to delete the folder and contents in the FTP, and also in the BukGet directory. After I re-installed it in BukGet, it did not show up in the FTP files, but only the .jar file. The folder and config.yml were not in there at all. I also go in-game, and when I do the command /plugins, the "PermissionsEX" name is in red. All the others are green. And to add onto that, when I do the main command "/pex" It does not show commands at all. Where as other servers would show the version and type.

This is the error in the console:

It was CraftBukkit 1.7.10. So I updated it, and Permissions is working fine, but Essentials is screwed up. It says "Essentials protect is now in Emergency Mode" in the chat.

All my plugins are up to date including Essentials, this is so frustrating.

 

I think I figured it out. There are many questions like this on other forums, and I don't think Essentials is updated to 1.8.1. I may be wrong, but that might be the issue.
