I have PHP 5.3.16 installed on my server and I am trying to install CiviCRM.

Everything on the install page checks out, except I get this error: PHP5 installed ---- You need PHP version 5.3.0 or later, only 5.2.17 is installed. Please upgrade your server, or ask your web-host to do so.

My PHP is definitely not 5.2.17. My cPanel confirms that it is 5.3.16. What can I do to install CiviCRM?

Put a file with the following in the drupal root folder and call it from a browser. It will tell you what's going on. Don't leave this sitting on a live site permanently though.

Code: [Select]

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Oddly enough, that folder does seem to be using php 5.2.

However, if I load that same file in my site's root directory, it tells me php 5.3.

What is going on??

Your hosting provider's tech support is probably the best place to go from here. They probably allow you to choose separately for different applications/domains.
