The important information is this:

Here, /var/db/tor has to be a directory accessible by the tor
user, and /var/log/tor has to be a file. Probably those have
to be present (as the following lines list them as required).

Check /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc if it makes any changes to the
default settings (shouldn't be, but have a look).

This seems to indicate that the file is present, but not
accessible. Check permissions and owner (should be "_tor"
with an underscore).
