I have been using eclipse-pdt in conjunction with xdebug and apache without problems, for over one year. Things worked flawlessly and I could do all the interactive debugging I wanted from within eclipse (using my own machine as a server).
Now I switched from apache to nginx (and therefore PHP runs now not as an Apache service but as fast-cgi) and I can't find a way to configure eclipse to work nicely with xdebug. I am neither sure if the problem is with xdebug or with eclipse (or both) to be sure.
In the eclipse configuration I already changed the reference to the PHP configuration file to /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
.
With the following php.ini
file
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20060613/xdebug.so
var_dump()
I get the xdebug version of it, not the plain PHP one)...?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=ECLIPSE_DBGP&KEY=...
, but the program execution does not stop at breakpointsIf I use this other version of the file (which is what it worked until I switched to nginx):
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20060613/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_autostart=On
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_mode=req
I can't access any page of my sites at all.
PS: Additional data on my machine: - OS: GNU/Linux - Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. - PHP: 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.3 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.7; Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies with Xdebug v2.0.4 - Eclipse: see screenshot.
What Beau said is correct (couldn't vote since I'm new!).
Generally, addging to /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini (or locate php.ini) the lines like
zend_extension = /PATH_TO/xdebug.so ## <-- NOTE the absolute path, not relational (For ex on Windows: "C:\nginx-1.9.13\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.6.0RC2-7.0-vc14-nts.dll")
xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp
xdebug.remote_host = localhost
xdebug.remote_port = 9900 ## <-- Yours will be probly 9000 or other..
does the job.
So after the change,
./php-fastcgi stop
./php-fastcgi start
This worked for me.
