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
