Aparently you did not enable the debugger:

Note all those ; characters at the beginning of your entries in the [ XDEBUG] section of your php.ini file. They mark that line as a comment, as not active. So in the end you did add a section, but without any active entries!

Remove (some of) these semicolons as mentioned in all manuals. Then test again by calling your phpinfo script!
