Zend debugger + PHP 5.3 + XAMPP

Post by novito »

Hi there,

I've been trying for the last two hours to install the Zend debugger into my PHP configuration (is under XAMPP). I have checked the php.ini file, and added the corresponent lines and I have added the dummy.php in the root server folder. Also, I have added the .dll of the debugger in the /ext folder.
However, and after relaunching the Apache it doesn't seem to take any effect.

Following is what I have done specifically:
- Downloaded the debugger for the PHP 5.3 version (from http://www.zend.com/en/products/studio/ ... end-studio). Added the ZendDebugger.dll of the 5-3-x-nts version to the extension dir (in my php_info file says is located in: C:\xampp\php\ext).
- Modified the php.ini file (added at the end) the following:

[Zend]
zend_extension_ts=C:\xampp\php\ext\ZendDebugger.dll
zend_debugger.allow_hosts=127.0.0.1, 192.192.2.2
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always

- Added the dummy.php file into the web server root folder...

Then I relaunch the Apache, and supposedly it should show me that the Zend debugger has been added, but I can't find any changes on the phpinfo file.

Some suggestions, or something that I am doing wrong?

Thanks :)

One guess, look at phpinfo and make sure you're editing the active php.ini file. Windows tends to have more than one php.ini floating around.

Thanks for the answer Doug.

I checked that already, and it seems I'm modifying the correct php.ini file... I don't know what can be happening... I've tried to install WAMP instead of XAMPP but I can't get it either.. :banghead:

One more guess, make sure the web server user account has the necessary permissions on the debug folder and dll.

Hi Doug,

Thanks again for your answer. This is pretty strange. I have tried to do it in my MacBook and it's working perfectly.. Dunno what's going on with the XAMPP in Windows @_@.

Well, thanks for your answers, I hope somebody else can help :)

OK, one more guess, try using / instead of \ in your paths in php.ini
