Running chmod -R 777 / as root will break your system. Rule #1: If you are not comfortable with command lines, do not run any command as root.

How to restore root directory permission to default?
Iv reposted this in the correct forum now it was a hacky sloppy fix to see what broke im aware thats not how you fix a mail server. Just noticed in my panic i clicked ubuntu forum not debian. Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 This is the current output of ls -la /: drwxrwxrwx 22 root root 4096. I am aware of the potential risks of missing a file, but would prefer recovery to reinstall despite them. If this is not possible, how would I save the data from the server to reinstall the OS? I believe a script could fix it if it restored the permissions of the filesystem based on data from the package manager, but i do not know how I would go about doing this. Since then I have physically disconnected the server from the internet. I also ^C d out of the command within one second to minimize damage. Unlike in the questions "Recovering from chmod -R -777 /" and "What to do after 'chmod -R 777 /'?" i am still signed in as root, and not the whole system was changed, so I do have some control over the system. I do not have backups of most of the system (poor choice I know). While trying to debug a mail server, I typed: chmod -R 777 /Īnd the icing on the cake, due to me forgetting I had changed a script I use to sign in to fix something, I did all this as root.
