How to setup Xdebug on ubuntu 10.10

Hello,

I’ve been trying to figure out how to actually set up Xdebug on my php configuration but I never managed to get the “Styled” version of Xdebug.

I finally figured out why so I decided to share it

First install xdebug with pecl

sudo pecl install xdebug

Then create a xdebug config file and add a link to your .so file

sudo nano /etc/php5/apache/conf.d/xdebug.ini # then add zend_extension = /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so

Now here is the part that I couldn’t figure out.

In your php.ini file you need to enable display_errors & html_errors.

sudo nano /etc/php5/apache/php.ini # then look for display_errors & html_errors and set it to On.

finally restart apache

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

You’re all set !
