<div>
run a df -k|sort -n and you see which folders in /var use most space.<br />
<br />
Be aware that some contant in /var is critical for system operation. So dont delete things there until you know its safe to delete this content.<br />
<br />
If your system still has unallocated space ynd you have a LVM setup you might enlarge /var by adding unallocated space to it.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
