I'm having some problems getting xdebug running on ElementaryOS (Ubuntu 16.04.2) with php7, and Apache2.
I installed it with sudo apt-get install php-xdebug. The install didn't report any errors. I've added
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1 ; Not safe for production servers
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_autostart=true
to /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini.
I also need to add the xdebug.so file location like, zend_extension="/path/to/xdebug.so". However, I have been unable to find xdebug.so after the install.
Does anyone know where xdebug.so is, or has the instructions changed since php7.0 was released. Most of the instructions/help seem to be for php5 online.
Thanks.
Check xDebug is installed.
php -m
Run locate xdebug.so
Returns /usr/lib/php/20151012/xdebug.so for me, but 20151012 might change in the future.
You have to execute sudo updatedb if locate does not return anything or you've just installed locate
For the new versions just add xdebug file name, example:
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.default_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_port=9000
...
If it does not work use Linux find command like the following:
find / -name "xdebug.so"
What does this command do?
