Thanks very much for the info. I was struggling to get XDebug to work properly. I am running Eclipse on a workstation connecting to a remote Apoache server with XDebug. If you didn’t specify that xdebug.remote_host needs to be the client PC I would have struggled longer. I couldn’t find any clear instructions regarding this elsewhere.

Anyway… thanks!

Please can someone help a me, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Step 4(e) Checking for the Xdebug install in phpinfo is not showing up.

[XDebug]
;; Only Zend OR (!) XDebug
; zend_extension_ts=”C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\ext\”
; Modify the filename below to reflect the .dll version of your xdebug
zend_extension_ts=”C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\ext\php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.3-vc9.dll”
xdebug.remote_enable=true
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 ; if debugging on remote server,
; put client IP here
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.profiler_enable=0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir=C:\wamp\tmp

My paths are right to the dll. I have tried every dll for my version of php which is 5.3, restarting sevices in wamp each time. I just can’t get XDebug to show in the phpinfo.

“You can select Xdebug at three different levels: Workspace configuration, Project level configuration and (this one took me half a day) runlevel configuration under RUn -> Run Configurations. Until I had set it to Xdebug there (default was Zend, that’s why it kept listening on port 10000, sigh…) it wouldn’t work”

Thanks Nils, this was driving me BONKERS! All working as expected now.

Very nice post!
I have experienced with the port 9000 conflict.
So if you have check point vpn client, this 9000 is occupied, please configure another port for XDebug, like 9090

I had a real problem just trying to see the Xdebug extension loaded in the phpinfo page. I’m running WAMP - eventually got it but had to change the line in the php.ini file to:
zend_extension=
So, remove the “_ts” from the zend_extension_ts parameter.
P.S. Good article.

So detailed guide!

Whatever Run->Debug or F11 or click the bug icon in toolbar, I got “The selection cannot be launched, and there are no recent launches”.

So I could not do “8 - a. - i - i”
“1. Run->Open Debug Dialog.”

Do you have ideas?
