Upgrading mysql killed apache

I've just upgraded MySql server from 4.x to the latest version 5.1. I realize that I am skipping over a few releases but the WHM interface assured me that it is an easy installation that will iterate through the missing releases and end up with the latest release. I used the automatic install that will recompile easyapache without user intervention. Everything seemed to have gone fine, and I got a message at the bottom saying that the upgrade was successful. I tried to load one of my sites that uses a mysql database but it was down. I SSHed to the server, I find that the Apache web server is down. When I tried to bring it up I got the following message.

Code:

httpd: Syntax error on line 39 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 9 of /usr/local/apache/conf/php.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.14: version `libmysqlclient_14' not found (required by /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp5.so

When looking at the [Syntax error] at line 39 of httpd.conf i find this:

Code:

Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/php.conf"

Seems fine to me


When looking at the [Syntax error] on line 9 of /usr/local/apache/conf/php.conf
The entry look like this:

Code:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

also looks fine to me, and the module does exist here: /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp5.so



Latley the seemingly missing libmysqlclient.so.14
Does indeed exist in /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.14

How can I go about fixing this and restarting Apache. All sites are currently down!

Any quick help would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you alphwolf for your reply.

We had to go through the good people at CPanel through the ticket system and they were able to help out.
The problem in a nutshell was with the yum repository. The one I was using was down and they changed it and finalized the installation of Apache. Even though I am still having a few (mysql related) issues with this upgrade, the major hurdle was overcome. Both mysql and Apache are now functional.

Thanks again
