    Question What version of MySQL do I really have?

    I need MySQL 5.x for my IPB forum and took one host, but I cannot understand what version of MySQL i have, as:

    cPanel says:
    MySQL version: 5.0.45-community

    but phpMyAdmin says:
    Server version: 5.0.45-community
    MySQL client version: 4.1.22

    What version of MySQL do I really have?

    What is difference with Server and client? and why version of client is not 5 ?!

    The client version is the one that PHP uses or that is compilied with PHP as far as I know, the version of the MySQL server is 5 but you are running a 4 client.

    Sorry do not understand ... what is really client ?

    I really run PHP5 using .htaccess with record "AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php4 .php3 .phtml"

    so, why client version is 4 ?

    how can I compile 5 version?

    Your version of MySQL is 5.0.45... ignore the MySQL client version under phpMyAdmin. I see the same results on a few servers, where I know MySQL 4 was never installed...

    Client is just the system used to connect to the mysql database, this is not always the same version as the server itself due to the fact they may not need to bring out a new client when they bring out a new server.

    Think of it as in a client is what is between php and mysql server.

    Use the following command from shell to know the exact versions.

    rpm -qa | grep MySQL

    This is your MySQL version

    MySQL version: 5.0.45-community

    the rpm -qa | grep MySQL command won't necessarily work for you.. I believe cPanel installs MySQL from source so there won't be an RPM.
