Can't make Xdebug work with Eclipse PDT

Question

I have Eclipse PDT and Xdebug installed with XAMPP . Although there are various solutions on the web but i couldn't find a solution for my problem .

Here is the phpinfo() from my XAMPP which shows that xdebug is installed :

Eclipse PDT when ran in debug mode pauses at 57% with eclipse showing "Launching : waiting for Xdebug Session" following is the URL that gets generated

127.0.0.1:8756/Mywebsite/index.html?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=ECLIPSE_DBGP&KEY=14170721856664

I have followed various websites but all efforts went in vain .

Here's the php.ini part for Xdebug :

zend_extension = D:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.6-5.5-vc11.dll
;xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "D:\xampp\tmp"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp
xdebug.remote_host = "localhost:8756"
xdebug.trace_output_dir = "D:\xampp\tmp"
;xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.remote_port=9000

Note : Since the default apache port 8080 is occupied i have configured my apache to 8756

Waiting for the XDebug Session 57% in Eclipse PDT also couldn't help !

Thanks in Advance !!

Answer 1

You have invalid configuration. Replace current xdebug.remote_host with host only. Port is not allowed here.

BTW: You enabled profiling by default. This may slowdown each request ;)

Answer 2

After several hours struggling trough posts I finally had my OMG it works experience with the following lines in php.ini:

zend_extension = "d:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.12/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.2.3-5.4-vc9-x86_64.dll"
zend_extension_ts="d:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.12/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.2.3-5.4-vc9-x86_64.dll"
zend_debugger.allow_hosts=127.0.0.1/32,192.168.2.3/32
xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.remote_port=9100

Note d:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.12/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.2.3-5.4-vc9-x86_64.dll has to be replaced with your path / dll. I've changed my port in php.ini. Make sure you use the same port in Eclipse (Debug Configurations --> Debugger --> Configure --> Debug Port --> 9100)
