128mb with no swap? I'm not sure that was enough for a server 10 years 
ago. How many instances of Apache does your config allow. If 10, that'll 
be half your ram. I saw mysql in the top report... and that can vary 
widely up to needing more than you have. But with as little as you have 
you'll likely need to tweak the my.cnf down to almost nothing.. maybe 
you can find a tinymy.cnf example file somewhere.

IIRC, back when 128megs was pretty common, Redhat was suggesting a swap 
of twice the size of the ram. I'd say put more ram in it and if you have 
to rebuild the system and be sure to include a swap of at least the size 
of the ram, if not twice the amount.
