I cannot help if you do not provide specific error logs so we know what's 
going wrong. The issue might not be related to the user being root at all, 
but just some user configuration issue.

(I'll also point out that running MySQL as root is not really a supported 
configuration, that user=root setting is kind of a hack.)
