The PHP version is too low on your server. You need at least version 5.3.7 (you show version 5.3.3).

I updated the php and here is the new phpinfo() the attachement.

Mysql is deprecated in php 5.5.x.

The latest vB3 & vB4 will auto switch you to mysqli if you run php 5.5 (or greater)
However, the powers decided not to do this in vB5, apparently preferring it to die with an error <shrug>.

As far as the mysqli error goes, it looks like you are not loading the mysqli module, thats normally done via php.ini

php -m | grep mysqli
shows that mysqli is enabled the out output gives.
mysqli

Now As the mysqli module is installed and enabled but this time i get " There is a serious error and the page cannot be rendered" with mysqli enable as dbtype.

How can this be ressolved?
thanks

Go into debug mode and then go to that same page and see what the actual error is.

To enable debug mode edit the /config.php file and change:

$config['debug'] = false;

To:

$config['debug'] = true;

Then edit the /core/includes/config.php file and change:

// $config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

To:

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

To set that up for only your IP address (replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your IP), put these lines around the code:

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx") {
CODE HERE
}
