 * WordPress won’t install because it say I am not using the correct version of 
   Mysql. The message is that I am not using Mysql 5.0 saying I am using a version
   4.1.11.
 * Having checked with my ISP and by using PHPMyadmin I am in fact using Mysql 5.0.
   The 4.1.11 is actually the ISP server number. How can I get around this please?
 * These are the details:
    Server version: 4.1.11-Debian_4sarge7-log MySQL client
   version: 5.0.51a PHP 5

 * It could be that your web server config is referencing the wrong mysql.
 * One way to be sure is to create a one line PHP file called `phpinfo.php` in `
   wp-content` with this line in it:
 *     ```
       <?php phpinfo(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Visit your site `http://you-servername-here/wp-content/phpinfo.php` and on top
   you’ll get the PHP version info.
 * Scroll down to the mysql section for that info too.
