What is the default permission of folder /var?

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I am a complete beginner in Linux. I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 in a pendrive, then installed MySQL and Apache PHP and then I tried to install Moodle (a distance learning platform I use at work). The installation in Moodle stopped when the program tried to create a folder called moodledata inside the folder /var, and did not have permission to do so. So I did a chmod 777 to folder /var and removed the blockade, but I fear what I have done is not safe and I want to go back to the previous (initial/default) permission value of /var I can't find anywhere what value should it be. Can you help me? (HowTos)

Permission denied! 10 weeks 3 days ago

Two questions:

(1) I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04.2 on my Mac Pro and I've also installed clam and avg virus apps. When I scan my home folder clamscan works fine but with avgscan ~/ I get "/home/ron Object scan failed; Permission denied."

(2) I have a folder /media/Ubuntu_Data which I created in OS X.

I want to set permissions to a folder such that, when I'm normally logged in (meaning not as root), this folder isn't deletable, but I can still change the name of this folder and move in around in my system ?

IS this possible and if yes, how to set the permission ?
