It looks like there are some related issues to my problem.. One of our team members accidentally ran "chmod / 775 -R" and now we've got some issues with our database..

I'm getting stuff that looks like this : Incorrect information in file: '*.frm'

Any help to get us back on our feet would be awesome

Solution 1:

I would recommend rebuilding the server but you probably have a problem with your /tmp, try chmodding it to 777.

But you will come across various other issues. Take your backups or what you need and rebuild the system from scratch.
