Does Drupal Run in 64 bit Ubuntu Linux Machine
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

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. Hope this helps!

Cameron Thanks for 'tasksel' suggestion. Also you indicated "Please note that it will require some tuning to work well in a production environment". Can you kindly mention specific things I need to take care. Also if possible, please mention right drupal-book/document to follow. I am planning to use Drupal 6.

This question is about running Apache and MySQL on a 64 bit Ubuntu environment, which should be relatively simple. Can I suggest you visit perhaps the Ubuntu forums for how to install and run these applications? This list of for Drupal development problems. http://bit.ly/gwmrRB c.

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! Cameron

Hi Kamparajan Thanks for quick reply. I hope the link you have given is extremely useful. But that may work fine with 32 bit machines. Does it work for 64 bit machines, that is my concern. Regards Kamal On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 12:48 PM, kamparajan p <kamparajan@gmail.com> wrote:

Drupal will run on 64 bit because the packages it uses will run on 64 bit These are php 5.3.x mysql 5.1.x apache 2.2.x If you are planning a production server it may well be installed remotely and access will be through ssh. In that case you will not need to install a gui at all, this will provide you with a faster box as all the resources will go to the server software. If you use ubuntu 10.x LTS you do a basic install and then add just what you need. If you need an admin gui install webmin to manage apache, firewall, users and ssh and phpmyadmin for working with mysql The ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies link is useful but rather out of date, I would use aptitude for managing your packages. The instructions there are aimed at people wanting an in-house server rather than a production server pointing to the www. If this is a bit daunting consider buying a lower spec 64 bit box, these can be had for under £250 (or whatever that is in your area) and use that to practise on, make your mistakes there where you can just start again if you blow it ;-) It does not need to be powerful as only you are accessing it. Alternately you might want to use Virtualbox on an existing machine. Don't worry about 32 bit versus 64 bit, the tools you need will work in exactly the same way under either. It is getting the hang of admin that is your biggest challenge. Hope this helps.

Dear, 64bit is no problem at all, but if you expect high load, better add lots of RAM (8GB+) and multiple hard drives, so you can use RAID 5/6 and separate disk sets for system, logging and mysql. Have also a look at Nginx, my experience is that it’s faster than Apache. Also your chipset is for desktop machines, better have a look at a real server.

This is not sound advice for a newbie, which the OP seems to be. Nginx is in fact leap years ahead of Apache and lesser fauna in the web server biosphere, but you must know how to configure it. Otherwise you're setting yourself up for a lot of pain, being p0wned with no mercy is highly probable. For a newbie stick with Apache. It holds your hand. Alternatively go to the Nginx group on g.d.o and see what's discussed there. Don't venture to setup a site in the wild while you don't have some understanding of the config.
Also your chipset is for desktop machines, better have a look at a real server.

Of course it will run. I run 64 bits only over multiple linux distributions, even on some windows box or macos sometimes since 3 years. Pierre.
I'm running it on 64bit windows 7 and ubuntu 64bit right now(even tested it on Oracle VM VirtualBox) If u can install LAMP package there's no problem On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 10:43 AM, Kamal Palei <kamal.palei.1975@gmail.com>wrote:
