This isn't by any chance a system you've updated to F7 from something
earlier? You can get strange permission errors the first time you try
to change the grant tables after a version update.
To see if this is the problem try running the:
mysql_fix_priviledge_tables
program (probably as mysql_fix_priviledge_tables --user=root
--password=[your password here])
If that helps then you should probably run the full:
mysql_upgrade
command to sort out any other problems in the install.
Hope this helps

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.
