Post subject:  Reset Permissions on /var

Well I accidentally ran "chown -R www-data /var" instead of "chown -R www-data /var/www" and I'm getting some weird errors now, mostly DB problems outside of myth. Is there anyway to get these back to normal without reinstalling?

You can always reset them by hand. I imagine if you use the same owners as this /var (from a new install), you'll be ok.

Code:
root@mythtv:~# ls -la /var
