Hi Artem, Wrt manual start, If $HIVE_LOG_DIR is not set to some accessible folder (like /var/log/hive), then I can understand "-bash: /hive.out: Permission denied" - its trying to create /hive.out on the root folder as user hive.
I think creating folders/setting $HIVE_LOG_DIR might address it? Maybe the logs contain why the service was not installed properly.
