Common Issues

I or others don't have permission to build.

Unless you copied configuration files from an older installation of WorldGuard, your problem is either caused by another plugin, or by not disabling the built-in spawn protection of the Minecraft server.

WorldGuard doesn't seem to work.

Two common mistakes include forgetting to install WorldEdit (WorldGuard needs it), or making a syntax error in one of WorldGuard's configuration files (this is very fatal unfortunately, and can be caused by a single character typed in the wrong place). Try asking in IRC to see whether anyone can help you.

No one can build in a region I made!

Make sure that:

You didn't change the 'build' flag, because protection is on by default when a new region is made. Setting the build flag to 'deny' means that no one can modify the things inside the region.
That you added the player as an owner or member of the region. If you are using a group (g:groupName), you may have to give the group the permission of group.groupName for WorldGuard to recognize it.
That you disabled spawn protection. The Minecraft server has an automatic spawn protection feature where only 'ops' can build in a definable radius around spawn (by default, it is 16 blocks). Modify bukkit.yml in order to change the spawn radius to 0.
That it's not another plugin causing you trouble. The error messages of WorldGuard are of a dark red shade. If the color of the "no permission" message is not that color, it is not WorldGuard.

Everyone can build in a region I made!

Make sure that:

You didn't change the 'build' flag, because protection is on by default when a new region is made. Setting the build flag to 'allow' means that anyone can modify the things inside the region.
That it's not caused by another plugin. If players are getting a dark red permission denied message, but they can still build, another plugin is likely causing the conflict.
