Hi,

I have apparently successfully installed the dbg.so library under linux, but the listener that should be running on port 7869 does not appear, as a result, I cannot debug any sessions.\

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can determine why the listener is not appearing, or suggest why my configuration is causing the listener not to run?

Thanks in advance

- Paul

however netstat -an shows that the listener is *not* running

There are no errors in the apache error log when apache is stopped and then started.

DbgListener is not supposed to listen on the server. It runs on the workstation and does listen there.
Debugger module that runs on the server is supposed to connect back to the listener. If you have a kind of router (NAT or non-NAT), it's necessary to either forward listener's port using router-rules or use SSH tunneling.
See relevant posts on this forum board on how to setup projects and SSH tunneling or router's manual on how to forward TCP/IP ports.

Thank you for clearing that up.

That was indeed the problem.

It was not clear to me from the docs that that was the way it was supposed to connect.

Thanks.
