Question

I am trying to set up xdebug to work properly with my Komodo IDE. I am running a Magento site and can’t find the proper php.ini file to add the configuration information to. I ran a phpinfo command and checked the location and it was on usr/local/lib/php.ini. When I did research to find where that file was located everything I read said to stay away from that file.

Also where is that file located? Is it in the public_html?

I suggest you to use NetBeans ( it is very easy to configure with Xdebug ).

you should add these lines in your php.ini:

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
display_errors = 1

Check the path /usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/xdebug.so and use your one.

To have a better experience with Xdebug, I suggest you to use one of those 2 plugin for your browser:

• easy Xdebug for Firefox -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/easy-xdebug/
• Xdebug helper for Chrome -> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xdebug-helper/eadndfjplgieldjbigjakmdgkmoaaaoc
