Errors on various hooks

Yesterday I realized I was using Mysql setup on one server so I changed that to false and renamed the data file so it would be recreated. Today I noticed tons of errors from the plugin.

I updated to 2.2.0, but the errors persisted. 

I tried using playerranks.wipe figuring I would fix any potential data errors, but those errored on the related hooks as well.  Turns out data file was empty anyway.

My other servers are working well. What should I be looking at?

Hey mate.
Any chance you made a mistake when editing the config file to disable MySql?
A missing comma or a False instead of false...something like that?

Pass it through https://jsonlint.com, or DM it to me.

How dare you suggest such a thing!

I copied the config from a working server with same settings. Works fine  I was fixated on the data file thinking that was it. 

Thank you sir.

I guess something funky has happened when changing the name of the data file, then.
Maybe unload PlayerRanks, delete the data file (file, not contents), then reload PlayerRanks, letting it create a new one?

I mean, that should effectively be the same as what you did, but I'm struggling for ideas.
Also, you're allowed to DM me. 

lol I wasn't clear in my joking. it's fixed now. I must have fat-fingered something in the config. I copied the config from a working server to save time and it worked without error. 

About the data file - I was so sure it was related to that so I never thought to check config.

Thank you sir!
