Hi,
I'm running under XP,
I installed the latest version of XAMPP which includes Apache server and MySQL server.
Everything runs fine.
Then I try to install the dbg based on these instructions
http://www.php-debugger.com/
and when I start the apache server, it shows it's running for a few seconds and then shuts down.
If I try dbg 5.0.2 it complains dbg: unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20040412,.....
PHP compiled with module API=20041030.....
these options need to match.

The log folder doesn't say much.
all the .log files are completely empty.
There's an httpd.pid file containing the number 2412
an ssl_scache .pag and .dir but they are both empty.

anybody have a clue?
Help greatly appreciated.
Gracias

Mark

comment off the php_dbg.dll in your php.ini, run server, get phpinfo() output and please submit it here.
TIA.
