What you wrote sounds good to me. I want to suggest to keep an eye on the network-security arround your app:
- Use a (non-software) firewall to allow only needed traffic to your server.
- Stop all unnecessary services on that box.
- If mysqld is one of those services you could allow only connections from 127.0.0.1.
- Use an intrusion-detection-system like snort.
- Make someone responsible to do all security patches but remember to try those patches on a second box before you get hit by some nasty side-effects.
- Continously keep an eye on the logs.
- Plan the actions for a worst-case scenario!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
