PHP5 Upgrade Issue with MySQL or php-mysql

[nelisx]

Hello,

I upgraded my php from 4 to 5 today using

Code: Select all

yum --enablerepo=centosplus update

After what appeared to be a successful update, i restarted my apache server and got the following message when going to my wordpress blog:

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.

I searched extensively and tried

Code: Select all

yum install php-mysql

and 10 different variations of that to no avail...then I looked and it appears i have it installed:

Code: Select all

 rpm -qa | grep php

I then found my way here, I noticed this test in a similar thread and tried it myself. here are the results:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa --qf="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}\n" 'mysql*'

mysql-5.0.51-1.el4.art.i386
mysql-server-5.0.51-1.el4.art.i386
mysql-devel-5.0.51-1.el4.art.i386
mysqlclient14-4.1.22-2.el4.art.i386
mysql-libs-5.0.51-1.el4.art.i386

if i am seeing things the right way, i need to upgrade mysqlclient14 from 4.1 to 5.x or something, but I am very new to all this and I need some assistance for the next step. Currently I have about 4 blogs effected by my newbiness

my phpinfo can be found at:
