Netbeans not connecting with xdebug on Wamp : “showing waiting for connection”

Question

Following is my configuration in bin\\php\\php5.3.9\\php.ini and bin\\apache\\Apache2.2.21\\bin

[xdebug]

zend_extension = "D:/wamp/php/ext/php_xdebug-2.2.1-5.2-vc9-nts.dll"
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "D:/wamp/tmp/xdebug"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%p"
xdebug.profiler_enable = 0
xdebug.profiler_append=0
xdebug.extended_info=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=xdebug
xdebug.remote_log="D:/wamp/tmp/xdebug/xdebug_remot.log"
xdebug.show_exception_trace=0
xdebug.show_local_vars=9
xdebug.show_mem_delta=0
xdebug.trace_format=0

while I am having php_xdebug-2.2.1-5.2-vc9-nts.dll in wamp/php/ext/ and in \\wamp\\bin\\php\\php5.3.9\\zend_ext

But still its not showing the xdebug information in phpinfo() and also not connecting with xdebug.

It showing the "waiting for connection" for long while.

Please help me how can I do this configuration

Answer 1

Just decided to post my successful struggle with the Xdebug. All I've done is made this changes to php.ini:

zend_extension = "D:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.2.0-5.3-vc9.dll"

xdebug.remote_enable = 1

xdebug.idekey="netbeans-xdebug"

xdebug.profiler_enable = 1

I hope it helps someone.

For Wamp Server, make sure you are making changes in right php.ini. There are 2 files -

1. \\wamp_server\\bin\\php\\php5.5.12\\php.ini
2. \\wamp_server\\bin\\apache\\apache2.4.9\\bin\\php.ini

I was making changes to the first file. Then I checked php.ini file being used by clicking wampserver icon -> PHP -> php.ini (The location of this file was inside apache directory & not php as I was assuming)

Altering this second file did the trick for me.

Edit php.ini files to contain this code:

 zend_extension=[path to xdebug .so/.dll] xdebug.remote_enable=1 xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp xdebug.remote_mode=req xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1 xdebug.remote_port=9000

Answer 4

To connect with netbeans you will have need to configure in the Tools>Options>PHP>Debugger settings and in your php.ini above you need to change:

xdebug.idekey=xdebug

to

xdebug.idekey="netbeans-xdebug"

hope that helps
