Okay so here's the situation. My Mediawiki was being spammed by spambots so I put in ConfirmAccount extension in order to let the bureaucrats confirm all account creations by the people I knew were actual users (it's a small time wiki). I installed the plugin but when I tried to run update.php I get this:
-bash-3.2$ php maintenance/update.php Content-type: text/html You are using PHP version 4.4.9 but MediaWiki needs PHP 5.3.2 or higher. ABORTING. Check if you have a newer php executable with a different name, such as php5. -bash-3.2$
I figured I needed to update to the next version of MediaWiki and PHP so I did install MediaWiki 1.20, but my hosting provider (Godaddy) only has PHP 5.3.14, and when I run update.php now it still gives me that same error saying I'm using PHP version 4.4.9 (which is false because when I go to the Special:Version page on my MW it says that I'm using PHP 5.3.14).
Any way to fix this? I can't do anything on my MW until it is fixed.
