Upgrading PHP & MySQL for vBulletin

[Gholsie]

Hi all,

I've seen discussions about this, but, I can't find the answer.

I get this message:

vBulletin 3.6 requires PHP version 4.3.3 or greater. Your PHP is version 4.3.2, please ask your host to upgrade.


All the answers tell people to ask their host to upgrade. But, what if I AM THE HOST? ;)

I don't know how to upgrade these modules. Can someone point me in the right direction for a Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 system ?

Apache.org, MySQL.org and PHP.net have the latest recommended stable releases and they come with README and INSTALL/UPGRADE files and instructions.
