magento var folder

Question

A while back I was deleting Magento's cache in the var folder. I may be wrong but I think I made a mistake and instead of deleting everything in var/cache deleted everything in var accidentally. Magento seems to be running fine though. Have I got problems that I cant see, can anyone tell me?

Magento 1.6.

It should be fine, the files in there are supposed to be temporary. Just make sure that you recreate the .htaccess file that was in there as it blocks the public from being able to see your log files if you have logging enabled. The .htaccess file just contains these lines:

Order deny,allow
Deny from all
