Using PDT + Xdebug when a .htaccess rule is being applied [message #80042]

HI I need to debug a page that looks like this

http://localhost/path1/path2/path3

and there's a .htaccess rule like this

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php?page=$1 [L]

everything gets passed to index.php for processing, and as I´m using
remote debugging this does not work as Xdebug requires a real file to
start debugging

Any Ideas?

I am not sure I understand the problem here.If you specify the file (index.php) as the file
and turn off auto generation of the URL and provide your own URL when you launch the URL, index.php
will execute on the server. xdebug will see this and inform PDT of the real file being executed. PDT
will then attempt to associate that file with the file you specified in the launch (not the URL) to
determine the path mapping between the two, but it should associate the index.php on your remote
server with thst sitting in you local workspace that you specified in the launch.

Is it just a case of you want it to launch a different URL ? if that is the case just turn off auto
generation of the URL and enter what you want it to be.

Make XDebug use index.php as the file to start. The rewrite rule below
looks like the Drupal redirect. Basically it is telling any path to go
to index.php so that is your starting file for any URL of your site.

That´s correct it´s a drupal redirect, and I´m using a custom path the
idea is to get there and start debugging right away, but as it´s a
redirection there´s no way for me to get there...

Actually just setting the breakpoints in my index.php and running my
side in debug mode was enough tnks for the replies
