Ubuntu has a PHP package and a MySQL package for 64 bit, so yes. Drupal, being written in an interpreted language is more or less platform/processor independent. The real question is whether you can get PHP and MySQL to run. In this case, you can.

I usually try to stay away from howtoforge.com, but a really easy way to install a lamp server (just to get started) is to run 'tasksel' (without the quotes). You can then move the cursor down to "LAMP Server", hit the spacebar to select it, hit tab to move to the OK button, and hit enter. Ubuntu will then proceed to download and install all the packages that you will need.

Please note that it will require some tuning to work well in a production environment, but in most cases, tasksel can at least get you started.

Here's where we get off the beaten track: the man's asking if Drupal will run on Ubuntu 64, yes or no; a legitimate question; obviously the answer is yes.

What you have to do as sys admin in any server in a production environment is another question, and it is no harder or easier in ubuntu 64 bit than any other.

Hope this helps!

Hi All

I wanted to install Drupal 6 / Drupal 7 in a 64 bit Ubuntu machine.

Just wanted to check if Drupal is compatible with 64 bit Ubuntu Linux machine.

My machine's hardware profiles are -

---------------------------------------------------

1. CPU intel core i5 650 boxed 3.2 ghz socket 1156
2. MB intel P55 Chipset DH55P J Boxed
3. HDD WD SATA 2Tb 64MB cache

With above hardware profile, and Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit) linux environment, I am planning to install Drupal6/7.

If somebody has already done it , please share if you faced any problems.

Also in a 64 bit ubuntu linux machine, which webserver is recommonded.

I found some people using XAMPP. Is it the best one or you have someother recommondations.

Load on web server will be high, at high load, I am looking for high performing webserver.

Best Regards

Kamal
