Question

I have never used Xdebug, but i would like to start. I am using Ubuntu Linux and have already been able to:

• install php5-xdebug and make sure it is working
  through phpinfo() and var_dump()
• install the plugin through Sublime’s Package Manager
  I can access the plugin’s menu through SHIFT+F8 setup the Xdebug url

• in sublime settings:

  "settings": {
      "xdebug": { "url": "http://your.web.server" }
  }
  

Here’s what is going wrong:

• I can place breakpoints in the code, but the icon seems to be wrong,
  it’s just an orange blob
• When I “start debugging” the debug window appears completely empty
• when I access my script, it doesn’t stop at my break points.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

these are the whole steps, worked for me

sudo -i
apt-get install php5-xdebug
vim /etc/php5/conf.d/xdebug.ini
xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
:wq
apachectl restart
exit
Download do SublimeXdebug
unzip
move folder para ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/Xdebug
Download python 2.6 (careful with i386 vs amd64)
dpkg-deb -x python2.6_2xxxx.deb python2.6
move folder to ~/sublime/lib/python2.6
open google chrome
chrome://settings/extensions
Get more extensions
search for xdebug
install xdebug helper
go to "options" of xdebug helper
in IDE type "other" and in input "sublime.xdebug"
start sublime
open file test.php
add breakpoints
start debugging
in chrome go to http://localhost/test.php
activate the icon of the plugin
refresh

That is it!
