I figured this out and though it may seem like a slilly mistake I'm posting it in case someone else runs into the same problem.
I couldn't run the kernel/sql/mysql/demodata.sql file becuse I had already run the kernel/sql/mysql/kernel_schema.sql file. PHPMyAdmin was running into duplications in the database so the upload was failing.
FIX: I deleted all the tables --- (I suppose I could have run kernel/sql/mysql/cleandata.sql file) then re-ran the demodata.sql and successfully filled the database.
now the demo page is full of ezdebug errors but at least I got this far ;-)
