    PHP4 is EOL, and MySQL is almost to 5.1. I would definitely upgrade to PHP5 and MySql 5.

    Are you using cpanel for your control panel? If so, you can upgrade everything within WHM.

    Otherwise, it's really impossible to guess what is the problem without seeing error messages and a lot more.
