chmod

I've accidentally performed a wrong chown update this morning and now my /var/www permissions are all wrong.

I'm unable to access anything anymore, apache will always say I do not have permission to view this page, like:

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

(even after chmodding everything to 777, or chowning it to www-data)

Does anyone have any clue on what's going wrong?
