Thanks for the help. I'm running into another permissions-related error now, unfortunately.
Since I tried running arangod [/usr/bin/arangod.sh] manually in a terminal (in order to view console.log statements from Foxx) I've been unable to run arangoDB as a service. It's giving me the following error: 2016-05-18T22:15:21Z [3978] ERROR cannot open file '/myDataDir/ArangoDB/SHUTDOWN': 'Permission denied' 2016-05-18T22:15:21Z [3978] ERROR could not open shutdown file '/myDataDir/ArangoDB/SHUTDOWN': internal error 2016-05-18T22:15:21Z [3978] FATAL unable to start WAL logfile manager I tried renaming the SHUTDOWN file just for fun, and when I do that it just gives me a permission error on some of the journal files within the /ArangoDB/journals/ directory I had to run arangod.sh as a super user, and I'm guessing that somehow screwed up permissions for when I want to run arangodb as a service? But I'm running the service as a super user also... (restarting/logging in and out doesn't help, btw) On Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 2:27:51 PM UTC+2, Wilfried Gösgens wrote: > > Hi, > in linux you can create a common group in /etc/group: > > foxdevelopers:x:nnnn:arangodb,ropeladder > > (if ropeladder is your login, nnnn the GID number for the new group) > > You may need to log off & on in order to make that available to your > session; you also may need to restart arangod > then run: > > chgrp -R foxdevelopers /var/lib/arangodb-apps > > chmod g+rws /var/lib/arangodb-apps > > and then restart Arangod. > > Now files you create should be owned by the group 'foxxdevelopers', that > contains your user and ArangoDB. > So both should be able to create, add and modify files. > > The sticky bit in the chmod will ensure all files created under that > directory derive the group rights. > > Cheers, > Willi > > On Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 2:20:25 PM UTC+2, [email protected] wrote: >> >> Thanks, Willi.
