I have been trying to set up debugging using XDebug in Eclipse for the last few hours without success.

I have the following in my etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file

[XDebug]
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_autostart=off
zend_extension = /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so

The zend_extensions = /usr/lib…… was given to me by the custom installation instructions on the XDebug site. I followed the setup instructions exactly as they are on that page – http://xdebug.org/wizard.php

But from what I have read typing the command php -m should show XDebug twice, once under PHP modules and once under Zend modules. Well it is showing up under neither for me. So it seems that XDebug is not getting loaded at all?

Anyone any ideas on how to fix this problem and get XDebug working?

    You’ve editted /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini file which is for apache. You’d want to edit /etc/php5/cli/php.ini for the command line interface’s options.

    If you pass in the phpinfo() from a web site, that PHP has run through Apache of course. And then the wizard will give you settings for the Apache set-up. If you would have passed the phpinfo() output (php -i) from the command line, it would have given you the settings for the CLI.
