How about this:
# make all files in /var/www owned by apache:apache
chown -R apache:apache /var/www
# mark all directories in that tree mode 755
find /var/www -type d | xargs chmod 755
# mark all plain files mode 644
find /var/www -type f | xargs chmod 644
# display any files that aren't plain files or directories
find /var/www '!' -type d -a '!' -type f
I guess that qualifies as a script. Slap a shebang on it and away you go...
