I mistakenly changed the permissions on some mysql databases. I need to set the permissions back to

-rw-rw----

with the user and group of mysql.

How do I do that?

chmod 660 <filename>

that would set it to -rw-rw----

but how do i set the user and group back to mysql instead of root?

chgrp group file

To set the owner only:
chown owner file

To set the owner and the group at the same time:
chown owner:group file

To set the group only:
chgrp group file

And if you've got MANY, or an entire directory with subdirectories full of files, remember to use the recursive key:
-R
So:
chown -R owner:group file

Cool
