how do I install xdebug in php

[DavidGo43]

Hello,

I've successfully got my php file to work in my jail and I want to install xdebug-2.4.1tgz in php but I'm having some problem. You see when I load my php page of what version I'm using and my is php 5.6.23. After downloading xdebug-2.4.1tgz then I unpack the download file with tar -xyzf xdebug-2.4.1.tgz and run cd xdebug-2.4.1 and then when I run phpize I got this problem:

Configuring for:
PHP Api Version: 20131106
Zend Module Api No: 20131226
Zend Extension Api No: 220131226
Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.

how do I install or check the autoconf.

Why don't you just install using the package manager?

Code:

pkg install php-xdebug

 

[DavidGo43]

thanks for your help and I manage to get the xdebug php to work by typing the command of pkg install php-xdebug.

I have a question, even though I got the xdebug to install on php but there is no xdebug log file since its written no value. Even though I put these xdebug lines on php.ini
extension=/usr/local/lib/php/20131226/xdebug.so
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = /tmp/profiler


xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
xdebug.remote_autostart=1

but there is no xdebug log file created.

Did you create the directory that you specified and are permissions set correctly for it?

From the docs:

make sure that the user who the PHP will be running as has write permissions to that directory

 

[DavidGo43]

What directory are you taking about and how would I check the permissions on php whether it has the privileges to write directory

 

[Jailer]

What directory are you taking about

The one you specified in your php.ini file

Code:

xdebug.profiler_output_dir = /tmp/profiler

how would I check the permissions on php in linux for the xdebug for log files

Not permissions for php, for the directory. The directory has to be writable by the php user as specified in the docs.

[DavidGo43]

I type ls -1 and it shows and -1 means No read, no write, execute

.cshrc
.profile
COPYRIGHT
bin
boot
dev
etc
lib
libexec
media
mnt
package.xml
proc
rescue
root
sbin
show
sys
tmp
usr
var
xdebug-2.4.1
xdebug-2.4.1.tgz

but if I type ls 0,-2,-3,-4-5 it says
ls: illegal option --
is No read, no write, execute

 

[Jailer]

What is the output of

Code:

ls -l /tmp/profiler

 

[DavidGo43]

the output is
No such file or directory

 

[Jailer]

That's your problem. You specified for the output of the debug to a directory that doesn't exist. Either create it or choose a different directory.

 

[DavidGo43]

I've decided to not use tmp/profiler since it does not exist and I did search for the package install php-xdebug the one I recently installed and the result shows.
php-xdebug-2.4.0_1 Xdebug extension for PHP

also when I check the folder for xdebug it looks like:

//davidjones/davidjonesdataset/jonesserver/usr/local/include/php/ext/xdebug/

or

//davidjones/davidjonesdataset/xdebug2.4.1/xdebug/

and I've tried:xdebug.profiler_output_dir="//davidjones/davidjonesdataset/jonesserver/usr/local/include/php/ext/xdebug/xdebug_profiler.h" and it does it not work when debugging.

I bascially want to get that xdebug into that sublime text 3 just like this one.

It appears you aren't grasping the folder structure or what that directory is for.

Create a directory within your jail.

Point your xdebug to it.

That's it. Don't use the directory that the installation created for the binary or the libraries, and don't give it full paths outside your jail (it doesn't know what that path is, all it knows is the path inside the jail)

What exactly is this to be used for? You seem to be going through a lot of trouble for this package, and are attempting to use it with sublime text (why?). I'm not familiar with the application or it's purpose, so please enlighten us instead of just saying "I want to open it in sublime text"

 

[Jailer]

Yeah just create the directory in the jail

Code:

mkdir -p /tmp/profiler

 

[DavidGo43]

I basically want to get the debugger program to work on the sublime text 3. I just created enter the command line of mkdir -p /tmp/profiler and then went back to php.ini file and change it back to xdebug.profiler_output_dir = /tmp/profiler save it and then in the command line I type the command restart apache24 service. Here's the picture of what the xdebug looks like for profiler

Then after that here's the picture of what it looks like under xdebug tmp profiler folder picture which is:

//davidjones/davidjonesdataset/jonesserver/tmp/profiler

and in that profiler folder there is no files.

also, here's the picture of what the file I'm been trying to execute my hello.php and I just want the file to go into the debug mode just like that video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC2j1EKkL5E

 

[pirateghost]

In your sublime text project, you have http://myipaddress, have you actually put in your jail IP?

Once connected to the jail IP, the path should be relative to the jail, so the path mapping should be /tmp/profiler

 

[DavidGo43]

I basically want to hide my real ip address since I will not post my real ip address in this forum I basically want to show an example and my php file works just fine for example. http://myipaddress/hello.php. I've already configured my php and mysql based on that link. https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...ache-mysql-and-php-famp-stack-on-freebsd-10-1 that is before installing the xdebug in which I installed next after configuring the apache, php and mysql.

 

[pirateghost]

Your internal IP address is worthless to us. It's an unroutable address for us...
