You should delete old log files and generally files that eat up your space. I would recommend you to check /var/log and /usr/local/apache/logs for old log files. You should also check for core dumps from your kernel.

First of all please execute the command
df -k
and post the results.

In order to search your filesystem for core dump files execute the command
find / -name core\.[0-9]\*

This command will list all the core dump files on your system. If you find any delete them. You can force a delete automatically with the command
find / -name core\.[0-9]\* -exec rm -f {} \;
BUT i do not recommend you to use it if you are not absolutely sure how this command works.
