Xdebug Tailored info page not giving good info

Question

Have Apache2.2, PHP 5.4(VC9) 32 bit installed and working. Trying to install xdebug but fails with error "Failed loading c:\program files (x86)\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.20RC1-5.4-vc9.dll". File name and path are correct. Tried using Xdebug custom install wizard but does not return any useful information, ie version to download, path all empty.

I installed php_xdebug-2.2.0RC1-5.4-vc9.dll to php extension folder.

Relevant php ini lines:

zend_extension = "c:\program files (x86)\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.20RC1-5.4-vc9.dll"


xdebug.remote_enable=On

xdebug.remote_autostart=On

xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp

xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1

xdebug.remote_port=9000

xdebug.remote_mode=req

Relevant Apache config settings:

PHPIniDir "C:/program files (x86)/php"


LoadModule php5_module "c:/program files (x86)/php/php5apache2_2.dll"

Information returned from Xdebug tailored installation page:

I tried to post my phpinfo but stack kept saying I had improperly formatted code - even when I put pre code /code /pre blocks around the whole thing. So here is the important stuff:

Never Mind

For anyone reading this I found my own answer. PHP does not like the default name of the xdebug file. I just renamed it php_xdebug.dll and all worked well.

That is weird, as PHP just doesn't care about it. I've always used the original filename that the Xdebug download provided. Perhaps just a case of not having picked up the new configuration... — Derick

Even though you got this fixed, this may explain why it wasn't working before. It looks like you were missing a . after the second 2 in the version number on the file name. In the php.ini, it should be:

zend_extension = "c:\program files (x86)\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.0RC1-5.4-vc9.dll"
