Only change the ownership/permissions for "var" (or whatever the 'parent'
directory of the 'mysql' and your own 'data' directories is named). I
usually have 'var' (and it's subdirectories) owned as "mysql.mysql" and the
permissions as "rwxrws---" and the rest of the MySQL are as 'root.root' and
"rwxr-xr-x"
