windows - Installing Coldfusion 8 32 bit on a 64 bit machine - any problems? -
We are planning to upgrade our test server and in order to do this, we have run 64 bits The machine was planning to buy X64 web version
However, now we want to continue using 32 bit ColdFusion 8.
Is there anything to stop us from doing this, or do we have to proceed to this 64 bit ColdFusion 8?
Has anyone ever had a problem running 32-bit CF over 64-bit Windows? I think some people have problems (though not in Windows), but I have been assured by others that it will work just fine.
Many thanks in advance Ciaran
In my experience it works fine though , You have to change setup on IIS to allow 32-bit extensions, which disables (IIRC) 64-bit extensions. This means, basically, if you are running IIS and CF on what you are doing on that machine, you probably will not see any benefit. However, if you are running other applications in 64-bit mode, then access to storage needs, etc. Go for it.
