Mysql Version Mismatch in cPanel and Backend(Shell)

Issue:

cPanel says that the version of MySQL is 4.1.20. However, when I check the version within Shell it tells me I’m running MySQL-5.0.

Why is cPanel not reporting the correct version?

Fix:

Steps:

* just remove the file at /home/username/.cpanel/datastore/_usr_sbin_mysqld_–version

* Then log back into your cPanel.

It will then display the correct version.
