Ini directories from phpinfo():

/etc/php/7.4/fpm/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini content:

# xdebug 3 -          
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20200930/xdebug.so

I do not know how to check if this is the right file. They write in the docs:

Add the following line to php.ini:

zend_extension=/wherever/you/put/it/xdebug

How can I know where I put? :) It was installed by install command, it put where it put :) In that directory there is no file without .so . I just used similar directory and file name to what was xdebug 2.

phpinfo() does not show xdebug loaded.

Adding xdebug_info(); to file crashes the page - probably this function is not defined.

Answer 1

As @LazyOne said

for PHP 7.4 the folder should be 20190902

So setting in ini file

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20190902/xdebug.so

loads xdebug 3 for Php 7.4 . Thanks

Sometimes it is just because you used "#" for comments instead of ";" (Stupidly enough)
