Hue is running as the 'hue' user. It seems this user does not exist on your system.

Could you do a:
adduser hue
...

and retry?

[gavenpeng]

thanks you ,I create the 'hue' user,r
un the command no show the error,but show other error,the msg is

errread, errwrite)

raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

i give the hue 777 permission ,also display the error message,i don't know the permission of which user

[romainr]

You installed Hue in /home/chamago apparently.

login as chamago
cd /home/chamago/hue
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/lib/hive/metastore/metastore_db
build/env/bin/supervisor

or at least the webserver

./build/env/bin/hue runserver
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/lib/hive/metastore/metastore_db
./build/env/bin/hue beeswax_server

maybe you use root to install hue,change the owner and group of the directory where you install hue，such as
chown -R hue:hadoop /root_directory_name_of_hue

That worked for me. Do not forget to create the Hue user. It was just so that the Hue user didn't have read rights to the db
