Install XDebug for use with XAMPP on Ubuntu Linux.
Lets assume you have XAMPP installed with developer source code and header of XAMPP. If you don’t have XAMPP developer package installed you can install it by following…
Build Environment Setup
XDebug will need to be compiled. A couple of packages need to be in place before you can build the source.
1. Install the build-essential package to setup a basic build environment:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential
2. Download the development archive for your version of XAMPP and extract it over your existing installation (you may want to backup your XAMPP directory first):
sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-devel-1.6.8a.tar.gz -C /opt
Build XDebug
wget http://www.xdebug.org/files/xdebug-2.0.3.tgz tar xzf xdebug-2.0.3.tgz cd xdebug-2.0.3/ phpize
After this you will have following output on your console…
Configuring for: PHP Api Version: 20041225 Zend Module Api No: 20060613 Zend Extension Api No: 220060519
./configure make sudo make install Then the output will be this.. please monitor the directory specified. Installing shared extensions: /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/After the Xdebug extension is installed, you’re ready to enable and configure the extension.
First create a folder in your temp folder that will holds the data file generated by Xdebug
sudo mkdir /opt/lampp/tmp/xdebug sudo chmod a+rwx -R /opt/lampp/tmp/xdebug Open php.ini in a text editor, and add the following lines at the end. ( generally you will find it in /opt/lampp/etc/ ) ;xDebug Configuration starts zend_extension = /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xdebug.so xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "/tmp/xdebug/" xdebug.profiler_enable = On xdebug.remote_enable=On xdebug.remote_host="localhost" xdebug.remote_port=9000 xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp" ;xDebug Configuration ends After adding the lines and verifying that your output directory is writable, restart your XAMPP server. you can do it by sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart and thats it..!! you have xDebug server running with apache..
Install xDebug by apt-get install way.
sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug
edit your php.ini file
In the end of the file, just add
xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_host=”localhost”
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=”dbgp”
If you are developing from another computer, we need to specify that ip address under xdebug.remote_host.
restart the server
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart
