Tried this with extension pointing to both dbg.so and dbg.so-5.2.x. (The latter is what the instructions specified, but that did not seem correct.) 2. Also tried it, in combination with above, with debugger.hosts_allow, debugger.hosts_deny and debugger.ports all commented out. 3. PHP version is 5.2.1, compiled from source on a Ubuntu Edgy Eft server. I'm wondering it I should download the source and compile it. That might be a better way home than assuming the binary is correct. Arno, your suggestion to install the NuSphere editor is a good one. I'm just reluctant to add more junk to my Windows box and to allow something other than atp-get / dselect to mess with server configuration. (Although it is a development box, so errors are not terminal!) Thanks to everyone for suggestions. Regards - Miles -- Hi Miles I'm not sure I follow your configuration - are you running on Windows or Linux? You shouldn't need to compile anything as far as I'm aware, just use the binaries. I'm using PHPEd 5.0 for Windows, so my config won't be the same as yours. My ini setup is: ================================ extension=php_dbg.dll-4.4.x [debugger] debugger.enabled=On debugger.profiler_enabled=On ================================ I've been using PHPEd for about 3 years so there are several dbg files in my extensions dir, but the latest is "php_dbg.dll-4.4.x" (that is the actual file name in extensions directory) which coincides with the name in the ini file, and the timestamp coincides with the ver 5.0 release date. According to your description for your Linux box I reckon you should be using "dbg.so-5.2.x" in your ini file and in your extensions dir. From previous experience I know the dbg extension is very fussy. You can't specify more than one dbg in your ini, and the dbg must be the correct one for your platform and your version of php. You can't change the name of the file, and if the binary is for one specific ver of php then you must have that ver of php running. Any error here and it just doesn't work. Hope that helps Cheers Arno
Arno, Arno, Thanks for providing the relevant bits of your php.ini. You just reinforced all of the docs in a very positive way. So in php.ini the lines in the [debugger] section which are not supported by the free version are now commented out, the extension is back to its original name and that's the name pointed to in php.ini. Apache has been stopped and restarted. Our version of PHP is 5.2.1, and I'm using dbg.so-5.2.x - should work. Regretfully, it does not. (Our clients are Windows and I do hope that we will be able to debug remotely, when I finally get this thing working.)
