I have recently noticed my mail inbox and come to know that Webfaction is offering to migrate from CentOS5-32bit to CentOS6-64bit(has latest version of mysql and postgresql). So, I have following queries:
Thanks !! asked 22 Nov '11, 03:20 plus1this |
Hi,
CentOS 6 is the newest operating system we are offering as such it has the latest updates and packages like MySQL 5.5 and Postgres 9.1.
All the PHP apps and Awstats should work without problems. You may need to follow: http://docs.webfaction.com/user-guide/moving.html#django for your OSQA app since it is based on Django.
You can do the migration by requesting it here. answered 22 Nov '11, 03:31 neeravk Are there any performance differences between sites on CentOS 5 and CentOS 6 in webfaction's server setup? Can I expect my sites to be any faster (or slower)? What are the differences in memory consumption?

You should expect better performance because the cgroups kernel feature will fairly allocate resource to all users on the server. You might see higher memory usage since 64-bit apps generally use a bit more memory, but I don't know exactly how much.
