Hi @Alalanderson, this doesn't seem to be a problem with towny, but instead the file permissions on your server:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: logs/latest.log (Permission denied)

This in return is creating the Townylogger to become null and denying you the ability to create a town, because the server cannot access the log files it needs to edit.

Luckily there's an easy solution to this problem

To change the perms on the logging folder just execute this in your terminal application: sudo chown -R {user} {your_minecraft_folder}/logs

where {your_minecraft_folder} is the root folder of your minecraft server and {user} is the user that runs the server.

Once the server can access the logs it should work, and not error out when you try to add a town.

Further, the user it should belong to (assuming during setup you told Multicraft to set up a new user per server) should be mc. So, for example, a server in the folder server4 would belong to user mc4. If it's in a custom directory and you don't know the id, you can find it within the multicraft panel as well. When you click the server on the server list page, part of the url should look like view&id=4. The username number should be mc.
