After re-reading your initial post it seems like apache is already updated
You would most likely benefit from a newer mysql tho... one of the perks of running newer software that has to be updated often for bugs
Make a backup of your my.cnf and use this one in its place, restarting mysql after you upload it:
<br />[mysqld]<br />datadir=/var/lib/mysql<br />socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock<br />set-variable = max_connections=500<br />set-variable = key_buffer=16M<br />set-variable = myisam_sort_buffer_size=64M<br />set-variable = join_buffer=1M<br />set-variable = record_buffer=1M<br />set-variable = sort_buffer=2M<br />set-variable = table_cache=1024<br />set-variable = thread_cache_size=64<br />set-variable = wait_timeout=9600<br />set-variable = connect_timeout=10<br />set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M<br />set-variable = max_connect_errors=10<br /><br />[mysql.server]<br />user=mysql<br />basedir=/var/lib<br /><br />[safe_mysqld]<br />err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log<br />pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid<br /><br />[isamchk]<br />set-variable = key_buffer=128M<br />set-variable = sort_buffer=128M<br />set-variable = read_buffer=2M<br />set-variable = write_buffer=2M<br /><br />[myisamchk]<br />set-variable = key_buffer=128M<br />set-variable = sort_buffer=128M<br />set-variable = read_buffer=2M<br />set-variable = write_buffer=2M<br />
let me know how it goes
