cannot update php to 5.x

long story short, i had some problems getting apache to start, which required me to do an upcp --force to fix, and now i'm running php 4.4.2. i tried to upgrade to any 5.x version of php, and i get the "you need mysql 4.1.19 or greater" error (i'm running 4.1.15 currently). i tried to upgrade mysql from WHM with no luck (it says i already have the most current version), so i tried updating whm and then running /scripts/mysqlup (even went so far as setting it to edge and running mysqlup), but every time it tells me i have the most current version of mysql

so my question is, what else can i try to get mysql upgraded to at least 4.1.19 (if not 5.x), so i can get php upgraded to 5.1.x? i've tried everything i've read on the forums here with no luck.

this is what i'm running:
WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.1-S114
CentOS 3.7 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0


thanks in advance all

 

duh

that was rediculously obvious.... (tweak settings) bottom line, get to know your cpanel
