Alfresco in a 64 bits environment

[lme]

Hello,

I would like to install Alfresco on the following server :
- hardware : http://www.pc.ibm.com/ca/eserver/xseries/x346/more_about.shtml
- OS : Linux Mandriva 2007 64 bits

I don't know which version of java I should use. There is a version for amd64 available (jdk-1_5_0_10-linux-amd64.bin), will this version work on an intel xeon processor (with EM64T thechnology) ? Should I use the 32 bits version ?

Is Alfresco compatible with java 64 bits ?

Thanks.

Laurent

We have had Alfresco running on 64bit java on an dual-Opteron server machine. The only issue we had was with MySQL 64bit which had some bugs that the 32bit version of MySQL did not have - Alfresco itself ran very nicely indeed!

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi kevinr,

Thank you for your response. Some more questions for you…

Do you know if the 64 bits java you used on your dual-Opteron server machine could run as well on an intel based architecture ?
Do I need a special version of Alfresco to run in a 64 bits environment ?

Yes I believe Intel would work fine. The standard version of Alfresco is fine - it's the JDK that matters.

Hi

If you use the IBM JDK, there are a few minor issues that will stop you. I am looking at these at the moment. Any of the Sun JREs and JRocket should be fine.
