XDebug on Eclipse PHP problems

Question

I´m starting working with PHP on Eclipse and I´m having a bad time with XDebugger. This is my first time setting up this enrironment...

I´m running Eclipse 3.8.1 with PHP Development Tools SDK (I have also C++ installed on this Eclipse).

I´ve followed the instruction from the official xdebug site to install XDebug. It seens to be installed fine, as we can see from a phpinfo() call:

Well, once installed, I go to Eclipse, insert my breakpoints on the code, configure the debug configuration and when I call Debug As->PHP Web Application all I get is an empty window on Firefox with the following link:

http://localhost/myproject/index.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=ECLIPSE_DBGP&KEY=14380396300041

Absolutely nothing happens neither to Eclipse or on Firefox.

Here is my configuation for debugging:

PS: I haven´t installed anything related to ZEND. Is it necessary ? Here is a error I get when using the Zend Debugger option:

Help appreciated!!! Hope this will be basic learning for solving...

To debug on zend debugger, you need zend debugger installed.

For xdebug remote debugging (browser run) you have to enable dbgp protocol:
