32 or 64 bit as server ?
I'm thinking of renting a hosting server and I have an offer of getting a FreeBSD 8.1 server. I want to run MySQL 5.x, PHP5, apache2.2 on it and I'm asking myself whether it would matter if I choose 32 of 64 bit ? -- Christoph ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Take 64 if you can however. -- Christoph ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org William Brown pgp.mit.edu -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJM674aAAoJEHF16AnLoz6JsEkP/iCnejN17c2gbRoKiDeNPN8h lvY58GzVrSI9SbUdgKsIgZkcTabXxDG9qAuNeDaST8e5xCwkx4VQYoWJNnOeAPyh I+6edmdnjb1q2wQVWyauuY/K9n0o5NtcH/L+GjmjpOrvc42EoYwo0AUOekYY20da mRpyKWZd//fZLEiK1E0efjHBa4JOs0WcTZjg39M2C2aq1UsNIRb87VrzOZzilN/u FwzzBSdu+Wdyk6HSzJMKjKPVHmJlqI2Q9jogr2oJQghma+MXVv7+HkAeiDi/1qeA VimQl8+HOH70xDzLHNfS3qmokhwlvlfiarR8/21rSxaeKPSUqpAnJnt+DczmOF5W RSaM0fw0G5+G0jNovbqavgK/5tGF64PDlMLBgwOYsxprUWyXO1znU5w2WoB7YQVF dQZnxbLwGvtgpwIxJyTTmIFYgkXhTPi3aHe3P/sEE3ZQpgxRxHOGGONvze1lDOfk PiS+QYnrZFQAitM8hQh8wXnYlEYymm4TFn6GuSGTWPYDEXcb4p+8wKnyCc6OY8Ut uQQ9VtL14Xij+9WM4YAGXGTJTZSDC0XmN//98QwHV3j/S68p0kac9tZ6WUJZ7rbK ygVN6DrJX+Iu188U4+0XXbakDyHBgR1e9JsBpmUSQPi9QkioDZJfEF9EL4O6yGCh nKjMNKffgwuk0GBXQcag =1gGy -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

It was only a few years ago that my advice was Don't got 64 bit unless you know you need it. Of course, things are always changing, and at this point in time, my advice would be only go 32 bit if you _know_ there's something that won't work in 64 bit. I can speak personally that we have a multitude of servers running PHP and Apache 2.2 on 64 bit FreeBSD with no trouble. I don't use MySQL, but I have a hard time believing that it's not 64 bit clean. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I don't use MySQL, but I have a hard time believing that it's not 64 bit clean. Right behind me is my 64-bit FreeBSD 8.1 server that hosts a number of websites. Apache2, php, perl, mysql, memcache, etc. all run just fine without any obvious issues. --Tobias ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The only other time I'd recommend installing a 32-bit version is if you're stuck with a machine with a very limited amount of memory. For example I'm having to run www/mail/db in only 256MB, so I chose not to install the 64-bit version which would use more memory. -- Bruce Cran ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
