For a webserver, your partitioning schema is rather bad.
You should consider having separate partitions for
/
/usr
/var/log
/tmp
/home
and probably a partition for actual webcontent
Reason:
You have dynamic data in /tmp, /var/log/, probably /var/lib/mysql and /home.
On one partiton, each of them has the ability to fill up the system, probably to a point, where it cannot operate.
Also, from a performance point of view it is good to have logs, read-oriented files and database files on different spindles.You must always face the curtain with a bow.

for a quick and dirty solution you could point the documentroot in your apache conf to somewhere under /home, as there you have lots of space
But that is just.. ugly
I recommend to review your partition schema and re-setup that machineYou must always face the curtain with a bow.

No.
You should consider becoming a projectmanager.

The downside:
If it breaks or scales bad:
