Unable to run as php web page [message #492105]

Hi,

I just installed latest version of Eclipse 3.5 and PDT, setup xdebug integration, but I couldn't use debug/run as php web page, when I try to do this or try to run/debug via run/debug configuration dialog, nothing happens, there is no browser opening the page. I can run the php file as script though.

My environment:
Windows XP
Eclipse 3.5 + PDT 2.2 (+ IDE For Java EE 1.2.1)
PHP 5.2.9
Apache 2.2

My setup:
Preferences->PHP->PHP Servers: I added
URL=http://localhost
Path on server=<Path to my local apache htdocs directory>
Path in Workspace=/Test (I have a PHP project named Test pointing to apache's htdocs)

Preferences->PHP->PHP Executables:
Executable path: <My local php.exe>
SAPI Type: CLI
PHP debugger: XDebug

Preferences->PHP->Debug:
PHP Debugger: XDebug
Server and PHP Executable: The ones I added above

Run Configurations->PHP Web Page: I added
Server Debugger: XDebug
PHP Server: The one I added above
File: /Test/test.php
URL: http://localhost/ /test.php

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks

Can you recreate the problem using PDT 2.1 ?

The same is happening if I uninstall PDT 2.2 and install PDT 2.1

You might want to take a look at
http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/documents/XDebugGuideForPDT2.0.pd f

If you are still having problems, then you need to get an xdebug log
file by setting the xdebug.remote_log entry in your ini file. This is
described in the guide. Then if you could post the results of the log on
the forum I can take a look.

So this is an xdebug problem? Is xdebug involved when I use run as (not debug as)?

I just tried to disable xdebug in php.ini, and try the run as again, still doesn't work. Can this prove the problem is not in xdebug? Or do I need to make other changes to Eclipse preference to disable xdebug?

Thanks

Ah ok, sorry I was under the impression you where trying to debug a web
page. So you create a run configuration with some autogenerated URL but
when you press run, nothing happens is that correct ?

You need to see what browser eclipse is set to. Go into
Window-->Preferences and expand the General tab and highlight "Web
Browser". You have a choice of internal or external, try setting it to
external and if there are no external browsers defined, define one using
the New button. See if that helps. You could also try changing the
debugger to Zend Debugger as well in the run configuration and see if
that makes a difference (as you aren't debugging it shouldn't be a
problem which debugger is selected).

hey.

i was having the same problem as you did.

os: ubuntu 8.04
fresh installation of apache2 php5 (+xdebug) and mysql from the repositories
eclipse galileo jee + pdt 2.2

i could debug php scripts

if i tried debugging web pages (after setting up the browser) the page did open but the script ran as if no breakpoints were specified ( i also had the "break on first line" option checked)

(MY) SOLUTION:
in the ini file (generally php.ini [Xdebug] section, but in my case it was /etc/php5/conf.d/xdebug.ini) i only had the following line.

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/xdebug.so

after adding the lines below, the debugger started to work as expected.

xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/xdebug.so

hope this helps.

greetings,

matyas

I'm having a similar issue. I've installed the latest version of PDT from the Eclipse PHP website.

Eclipse will not run .php files either locally w/in the IDE, or w/in a browser.

It doesn't appear that PHP or Apache are installed, even though I downloaded the PDT packaged labeled "all packages included". ( http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technolo gy/epp/downloads/release/galileo/SR1/eclipse-php-galileo-SR1 -win32.zip)

Is that even possible? How could it include all packages, but not have PHP and Apache, or be able to run PHP out of the box?

Do I need to download and install apache and php separately? Or, should these have been included? And, if they were included, how do I get them installed and running? None of the tutorials, how-to guides, videos, or configuration instructions seem to cover how to simply run PHP w/in the Eclipse IDE.

Very confused... thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

It's been a while since I visited this problem, but I believe you still need to install php and apache separately, the all in one package doesn't include them.

Hi All,
I got the same issue, able to debug using the php option but the web page option did not worked.
I had two issues.
1. My McAffee firewall settings was blocking port 9000 which is the port that XDebug is configured to listen. Make sure you have a rule that open this port.

2. The solution that Matyas wrote is important. Xdebug configuration guides did not mention anything about adding these entries to the php.ini file. I had my php.ini file pointing only to the dll.
After I adde the following entries, debugging with the browser worked.
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
-------------------php ini section modified to enable web debugging----------
; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a
; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension),
; you may only use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.

zend_extension = C:\Web\PHP\ext\php_xdebug-2.1.1-5.3-vc6.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are other settings in eclipse that you need to configure. I found an excellent guide that explains step by step how to set up XDebug or the other debugger in eclipse.
I'm uploading the file for your referece.
Cheers
Tishcorp

By the way I forgot to mention.
If you are at the point where eclipse php script debug opiton works for you is because you already solve for all the installation prerequisites and guides. And this issue will be resolved by adding this four parameters in your php.ini
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"

One of the main issues that you need to solve in the installation of Xdebug is to downoload the dll that is compatible with your Apache server version. Some versions of Apache were compiled with different compilers and the Xdebug library should be compatible with the Apache server version.
In my case this below you'll find the liabrary compiled for my apache server. If you read the Xdebug installation guides they recommend to copy the dll under the ext sub folder located where you have installed PHP. In my case, you can see the route below
zend_extension = C:\Web\PHP\ext\php_xdebug-2.1.1-5.3-vc6.dll

When I was using a DLL that was not compatible with Apache eclipse was not able to load the debugging environment, I did not get any errors, it just didn't do anything.

Ensure you check this. If you are not sure, don't have patiente to read the techical differences of apache installations and how serevers are configured, trial and error would work since there are 5 dlls for windows that you can try to see if they are compatible.
In a windows environment you just need to download the dll adn copy it into the folder. This is pretty simple stuff. If you are using linux or any other version of unix you might need to understand the diferences because you'll need to complile the Xdebug version manually.

I had the same problem and I found a solution, thought of posting it here to help anyone who sees it.

I clicked on Window menu -> Show view -> Others, searched for Error Log and displayed it, I found a clear message that says port 10000 (which is used by Zend Debugger) is used. I do not use Zend at all, all my run configurations uses XDebug.
I went to Window menu-> Preferences -> PHP (In the left pane) -> Debug -> Installed Debuggers, set the Zend port to be 10020 instead of 10000, and now I can run my PHP pages on web browser normally.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I had the same problem, but it worked after installing php and apache separately.
Worth trying!
