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)
