64bit ISPConfig / Perfect Setup CentOS 5

I will be getting a new server next week...

Are there any known issues running ISPConfig / Perfect Setup CentOS 5 in 64bit vs 32bit?

I've been running a test server with a 32bit setup and have had no problems. I can't test the 64bit setup since my test server doesn't have a 64bit capable cpu.

 

Thanks Till

If I discover any modifications needed to the HowTo, I'll post them so others can benefit.

 

64 bit server

I've been using ISP config on a CentOS 5 64 bit system since August with no problems at all.

 

Notes from CentOS 5 64bit Perfect Setup install

Ok, I just finished my Perfect Setup 64bit install on CentOS 5. Most everything is the same as the 32bit HowTo but, I had a few minor things I wanted to highlight while this is fresh in my memory:
-------------------------------------------------

Step 10 MySQL (5.0)

When you do this:

Code:

yum install mysql mysql-devel mysql-server

It installs the 32bit AND 64bit mysql and mysql-devel packages.
That could be a problem so I removed mysql.i386 and mysql-devel.i386. Now I only have the 64bit packages installed as shown below:

Code:

Installed Packages
mysql.x86_64                             5.0.22-2.1.0.1         installed       
mysql-devel.x86_64                       5.0.22-2.1.0.1         installed       
mysql-server.x86_64                      5.0.22-2.1.0.1         installed
Available Packages
mysql.i386                               5.0.22-2.1.0.1         updates         
mysql-devel.i386                         5.0.22-2.1.0.1         updates

Step 11 Postfix With SMTP-AUTH And TLS

When you telnet into localhost 25 and do "ehlo localhost" the HowTo says to look for

Code:

250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN

...but what you actually get is

Code:

250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN

Step 13 ProFTPd

ProFTPd is compiled from source in the HowTo.
Many of us prefer to use yum so we can get updates easier.
The rpmforge repository has ProFTPd available via yum if you add their repository. More info here:
http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/RPMForge

Then all you have to do is:

Code:

yum install proftpd

will give you:

Code:

proftpd.x86_64                           1.3.1-1.el5.rf         rpmforge

Note-
It installs as /usr/sbin/proftpd by default so no symlink is needed.

...now it's on to my ISPConfig install
