Getting permission denied on linux running a script

Hi,
on running a command (here yatra is script containing commands )
daemon --user=yatra /opt/yatra/yatra
/opt/yatra/yatra: line 7: /var/run/yatra.pid: Permission denied
/opt/yatra/yatra: line 6: /var/log/yatra/startup.log: Permission denied

whereas i have already executed the following commands to give appropriate conditions :
chown -R yatra:yatra /var/log/yatra
[root@localhost log]# chmod ug+x /opt/yatra/yatra
[root@localhost log]# chown -R yatra:yatra /opt/yatra/

I have created a user and group with same name yatra

Here are the permission also :
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 yatra yatra 151 May 5 00:50 /var/log/yatra/startup.log
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 6 May 5 00:50 /var/run/yatra.pid

Here is my yatra script :

#!/bin/bash
  java="/usr/java/default/bin/java"
 jar="/opt/yatra/yatra.jar" 
serviceLogFile="/var/log/yatra/startup.log"   
       # log file for StdOut/StdErr
 $java -DCONFIG=/etc/yatra -jar $jar >>$serviceLogFile 2>&1 &
 echo $!>/var/run/yatra.pid

Open in new window

what could be the reason for this permission error ?
Thanks
