Hello,

I installed dbg/dbg-cli on a server recently (SuSE 9.1) and it worked well. Now that I tried to install it on my own machine (SuSE 9.3, php 4.3.8) I encounter a strange problem:

phpinfo shows me dbg as installed
The relevant parts of php -i are:

This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies
with DBG v2.11.32, (C) 2000,2005, by Dmitri Dmitrienko
...
Version => 2.11.32
Linked => as a shared library.
Profiler => compiled, enabled

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
debugger.enable_session_cookie => On => On
debugger.enabled => On => On
debugger.fail_silently => On => On
debugger.ignore_nops => Off => Off
debugger.JIT_enabled => Off => Off
debugger.JIT_host => clienthost => clienthost
debugger.JIT_level => 3 => 3
debugger.JIT_port => 7869 => 7869
debugger.profiler_enabled => On => On
debugger.session_nocache => On => On
debugger.timeout_seconds => 300 => 300

(I ommitted the HTML-formatted part in the head of the dbg-conf output)

dbg-cli listens on the right port (7869, set via .dbgcli_init) and a local
telnet localhost 7869
leads to a "connection established" and dbg-cli interrupting after a short while.

However, when I call some skript in the browser like this:
http://localhost/~user/test/skirpt.php?DEBUGSESSID=1&clienthost=7869;d=1,p=1
nothing happens.
I tried using my local servername/ip-address as well and/or substituting "clienthost" by this address or the one of localhost, but without success.

If I don't start dbg-cli at all and open the URL in the browser it doesn't even complain about:
"Failed to start debug session
reason:
failed to establish connection to client host ..."

Printing $_GET from inside the skript to be debugged shows:
Array ( [DEBUGSESSID] => 1 [clienthost] => 7869;d=1,p=1 )

So I suppose there is some installation issue, but how can I find out, what's wrong?

dbg 2.11.32 does not support this syntax.
DEBUGSESSID must be replaced with DBGSESSID
"&" must be replaced with "@"
"=" must be replaced with ":"
";d=1,p=1" must be removed as it's supported by 2.16 and higher:

http://localhost/~user/test/skirpt.php?DBGSESSID=1@clienthost:7869

Thank You very much and my apologies for posing a question answered in the README. I just read too many outdated posts about the topic ...
