CPanel on FreeBSD 5.4 on x64 machines

[yaax]

I am planning to purchase new server as dual opteron and install there latest release of FreeBSD 5.4
Since Cpanel not listed FreeBSD 5.4 in the list of supported versions I am not sure it will work on this OS....
Also for x64 machines even FreeBSD 5.3 is not supported by cpanel...
Can anyone tell something about any problems with Cpanel and FreeBSD 5.3 and 5.4 on x64 machines?

Anyone?....

I am in the same position (have a dual opteron server and want to use the latest freebsd AMD64 distro) and would also like to hear from any FreeBSD 5.4 users.

FreeBSD now shows up as being supported for v5.4 x64. Has anyone ran cPanel on it yet?

I am running it with FreeBSD 6.1 x64 with no issues.

Is there a way to upgrade from 5.4 @32 to 6.1 @64. I am testing an ovh.com 64-bit server and there is no way, given the reinstallation options, to properly install cPanel.

And the options are Suse 10.0 @32, FreeBSD 5.4 @32, and Fedora 4 only bundled with Plesk.

cPanel has installed @ FreeBSD 5.4 i386 (the machine is 686_64) but there are many little bugs. Some of them disappeared after updating to C75. Still the php4 cannot be ungraded to php5.

[Imago]

MySql40-server, scripts, client
make deinstall

mysql41-server, scripts, client
make install

then update Apache and select any php5 option.

cPanel do not officially support FreeBSD x86_64, at least there is no such tab in layer1

There are also big problems with DNS and BIND config that result in making port 53 not listening.

FreeBSd calls this platform amd64, and it is supported by cPanel on 5.3, 5.4, 6.0 and 6.1 (working on 5.5 for both)

Really?...How about adding the servers IP's to this line in the named.conf file
and your problem is solved...

listen-on { 207.99.xx.xx; 207.99.xx.xx; };
