Virtualmin Pro won't install phpMyAdmin 2.11.9.4 on server with php 5.1.6

Centos 5 with php 5.1.6:

When I try to install phpMyAdmin 2.11.9.4 I get this message:

"This script cannot be installed, as this virtual server does not meet its requirements : phpMyAdmin requires PHP version 5.2 or later"

This is not true. It would be true of phpMyAdmin 3+, but the phpMyAdmin web site indicates that ver 2+ is compatible with the older version of php.
