SecondSight Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hello ! :) I'm going to change server and I wonder if IPB works well on 64 bits server or if it's better to use a 32 bits server... Can you tell me about it ? Thank you ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a 64 bits server IPB works very well! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K. Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Yes, IPB works on any server as long as you have the correct PHP and MySQL versions installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondSight Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 OK. I will use a 64 bits server then. :) But I was also wondering if IPB was optimized for 64 bits servers and could benefit from these servers' advantages (I'm sorry, I don't know much about all this) or if it will just be as good as on a 32 bits server... What is it that will make a différence, and where will we see the difference ? Thank you ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K. Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Any optimizations for 64-bit would have to be done by PHP and MySQL. There's no way for IPB's code to be optimized for 64-bit servers because PHP is an interpreted language, not compiled. That said, 64-bit servers have optimizations in most areas, so IPB would almost certainly run faster (though the difference would probably be negligible).

YounGMessiah Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I use IPB 3 just fine on my 64-bit system.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakEyez02 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Are there really people still setting up 32-bit servers on the internet with less than 3GB of memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, most dedicated server companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedo Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 IPB will work on any server as long as it has a Web Serving program (Apache, Litespeed, Lighty, IIS), PHP and MySQL/MSSQL installed. They can run on 64 bit systems which allow for more memory (RAM) to be used by the server. As mentioned however, since IPB is programmed in PHP, it cannot itself be optimised for either 64bit or 32bit systems, however, PHP could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasted Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The system doesnt matter at all.... I run my forum on a Debian 64Bit Server. Peak times: 90.000 user online. Simply amazing since Apache is using all my ram than (16GB). And of a 1GB connection maybe 10Mbits are left ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondSight Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 It's done now : my board (still version 2.3.6) has been moved to a 64 bits server and it's very fast. Now I have to upgrade to version 3.0.4. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
