Hi Jan, I've gone through the setup script again and may have found the issue. I was chmod'ing the /dbdata with go+w (which makes it look like 777) before the installation of ArangoDB (and creation of the arangodb user), which may be the reason why the access to that directory wasn't permitted. Working fine now, my apologies and thanks!
