It's obvious whats happening, in the first example Tor can't bind to the reserved port range, running it as root it can bin of course, but the data directory is owned by the package-supplied tor user so it refuses to start.

Please read more carefully next time, this is pretty basic linux sysadmin knowledge and the logs tell you exactly whats wrong - now it is up to you to find a solution by using the search engine of your choice.

Hint: running it as root is the worst solution to this problem..
