Thanks. There are a lot of very specific software on that server that
precludes it from being updated. I believe that 5.2 still is seeing
security updates, no?

In any case, a complete reinstall with either 5.2 or a latter version
is pretty much out of the question for now, though I will try to see
what needs to be done in that direction. In the meantime, where should
I concentrate my efforts?

Thanks.
