[Solved] The old chestnut: xdebug not stopping at breakpoints [message #1063656]

Sorry, I know there are hunderds of answers on the web and I think I've read them all in the last 2 days but I still cannot get this to work since updating from an old version on Fedora to Indigo (3.7) on Ubuntu 12.04.

I have php5.3

This is my xdebug.ini:

root@elina:/etc# cat /etc/php5/conf.d/xdebug.ini
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so

xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_autostart=off
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=

; to enable remote debugging
zend_debugger.allow_hosts=127.0.0.1/32
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always

xdebug is at the specified location

In eclipse I have a timy little script:

<?php

$name='world';
for($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++):
	print("Hello, $name ($i)!\n");
endfor;

with a breakpoint on the "for()"
and these settings
index.php/fa/15258/0/

and when I run the debug it just sails through to the end showing 99 line in the console.

Please, please what have i done wrong?

>Indigo (3.7) on Ubuntu 12.04.
If you're using older version of PDT, see Bug 347618 Additional PHP .ini files not parsed.
(latest PDT 3.1.2 (in juno repository) doesn't have this problem)

THanks for the comment.

I,ve installed Juno:

Eclipse SDK

Version: 4.2.2
Build id: M20130204-1200

reconfigured as in my first post and it still runs to the end ignoring both "break at start" and set breakpoints.

Do I have to move the contents of xdebug.ini into php.ini?

A bit more information.
I've updated xdebug to the latest version and added logging to file to the config. It still does not stop at breakpoints but the debugger does seem to be correctly connected.

Here is the start of the xdebugger log file. I don't fully understand it but it does seem to report that a breakpoint is set in my little bit of code.

Attached is the log file. The forum will not let me post it here

For what it's worth I've also installed netbeans and tried to debug the same bit of code and that also does not stop.

Any ideas would be gratefully accepted.

I had Zend Debugger included within the php.ini (as a separate .ini file) Although Eclipse was configured to use xdebug it seems that the presence of zend debugger interferes with xdebug.

I also read that zend debugger will not work if php has been configured with the suhosin hardening extension.

Anyway, removing zend from the ini, restarting apache made it work. This was the ini file I ended up with:

$ cat xdebug.ini 
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so

xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_autostart=off
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=

; to enable remote debugging
 zend_debugger.allow_hosts=127.0.0.1/32
 zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always

;xdebug.remote_log=/path/to/xdebug.log

Optionally one can uncomment the log line and set the path to a log file but remember that xdebug APPENDS to the log file so it could grow huge.
