PHPUbuntuxdebug

System Configuration

Ubuntu 14.04

Xampp v 5.6.3

installed php5-dev after xampp on 

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

now want to install Xdebug wihin xampp and I tried available 3 method but nothing is working out , please see the whole process.

1)Ubuntu software package

 sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug

command exceuted successfully but no such file in .usr/lib/php5/…

uninstalled

2)Tailored Installation Instructions

downloaded xdebug.tar.gz after checking with wizard

 ice@cold:~/Downloads/xdebug-2.2.6$ /usr/bin/phpize5

/usr/bin/phpize5 Cannot find config.m4.
Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize5' in the top level source directory of the module

also tried with phpize, /opt/lampp/bin/phpize but not working out

3)PECL Installation

before that let me check with pecl help version

PEAR Version: 1.9.4
PHP Version: 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.5
Zend Engine Version: 2.5.0
Running on: Linux ice-cold 3.13.0-39-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 28 13:30:27 UTC 2014 x86_64

pecl install xdebug

Build process completed successfully
Installing '/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so'
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/xdebug-2.2.6
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "zend_extension=xdebug.so" to php.ini

executed completely

I can see the file

644 /usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so

added below line in /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini

[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so"

restart lampp

but still xdebug icon is missing screenshot

Please tell me what is wrong

Best Answer

xdebug is located under xampp folder in

/opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/xdebug.so

on ubuntu 14.04 just search for it in /opt/lampp and copy the full path to it and then open php.ini and replace

;zend_extension=opcache.so

with

zend_extension="/path/xdebug.so"

in my case

zend_extension="/opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/xdebug.so"
