Yes.
Whenever you have a problem, go back to basics. Can you login as root
on the commandline? What password do you use there? Once you're
there, check root's permissions, but I'd be willing to bet your
password is incorrect, or root is only allowed to logon from localhost
and not the machine the webserver is on.
