thank you simon. fortunately i wound up getting it up and running with 
the help of phpmyadmin. i started the db server with the:

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --user=root &

and then went into the mysql database and changed the permissions within 
some of the tables to get the root user privileges again. just took me a 
long time to find the right the tables.
