# ls -ld /var
drwxr-xr-x  28 root root 4096 Mar 25 13:49 /var

it would appear that you changed the perms on this directory - probably
not a very good idea changing the perms of the root level folders such
as /, /tmp, /usr, /var, /home

chmod 755 /var

should be all you need do unless the owner isn't root:root
