That's correct, there are only 32bit modules.
Feel free to check the other posts in this forum to see info related to 64bit modules. |

I searched for other 64 bit questions before asking; didn't find anything relative; is there something I missed?
Do you have any plans to release a 64 bit version soon? It seems to me that its just the way its compiled; I can't image what code changes would be needed. I've been a computer programmer since the late 70's; it seemed that when things changed from 8 bit to 16; people jumped on it; from 16 to 32 they jumped a little slower; from 32 to 64 they got to old to jump anymore; go figure; but 64 isn't any harder; I just don't get it. Can you tell me if there is a way to get this to work under a 64 bit. |

aha.
just the first three on the first page: 64bit-binaries-availability-t2964.html v1-4-64-bit-support-on-linux-t3349.html phpexpress-1-4-doesnt-work-on-gentoo-64bit-t4030.html regarding the other ideas, below are some facts: -64bit platforms are slightly slower than 32bit and particularly apache+php combination is slower by 2-5% on the exactly same hardware and this number grows fast with increasing load because of far more memory footprint of 64bit applications, while memory bandwidth is still the same. -64bit is not officially supported because php has known bugs that will lead to crashes if you compile it for 64bit target (see this post as an example: http://news.php.net/php.internals/36092 illustrating the problem) -the only benefit that comes with 64bit is a bigger address space (more addressable memory) |

I'm running 16 GB RAM on a Quad Intel Xeon 5450; Windows 32bit will not run with that much memory last time I tried it; but I don't host on Windows; IIS 7 chocks; and IIS 6 seems to work ok; apache works fine; but I still only use them for development due to the fact I can't find very good Linux tools. In 64 bit; the applications run much faster; web pages are notably faster; although I don't have any bench marks; I have 18 web sites on one server; when people started to complain about load times; I switch to x64; no one has complained since; my Linux machines never crash; my PHP is compiled in 64 bit mode also and I never have any problems. I'm not saying I don't believe others are not; it took me some time to get my machines setup just right; its the hardware for the most part and some software not playing nice; I tired many flavors of Linux and came back to Fedora 8; 9 is due out soon and should be even better. I'm bullish on x64; a lot of people hear about other peoples problems with it (and understandably) and never try it themselves; so much hardware and software out there; but if you find a combination that works your opinion will change. I've heard all these arguments with 32 bit applications when they first came out also; but look were we are today. I've heard arguments about x64 being slower but its not true; at least not with the right equipment.
I went ahead and Purchased Nu-Coder; I have faith that all of this will work its way out. |

It's clear that with such additional memory of 14GB, your host caches disks much better and therefore works smoother. Regarding 64bit php, it still not considered stable. Just a friendly advice: pay an additional attention to the logs, in particular httpd error_log and don't forget to enable coredumps for Apache to have something to check after it's crashed. As of the most recent php (v5.2.5), there are still non-fixed fatal errors under 64bit OSes. They are pretty simple to reproduce. In worst cases, this may lead to the site compromise. |
