The only way I know, is to backup all data, and either install again or restore from backup. Sorry to say, but some things done as root as VERY dangerous.

This is no option for me.
2 mutch data, and i cant have any downtime..

Only thing i maybe can do is to change every thing manualy :/ :mad:

Obviously changing everything is a method of recovering from this type of problem. Hope you have a week or two free, there are many,many files on a Linux server all with very unique file permissions.

I see where you are coming from with not tolerating the downtime, but chaning the permissions manually for everything is going to be an enormous effort.
