Hi,

Downloaded phped latest version this morning and have been trying to get the debugger working... but cant... all i get is popups with timeout in them.

I have apache, mysql and php installed locally, and they all work file, apache diverts requests for http://localhost/ to w:\web\ where the files are served.

In w:\web\test.php i have:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and thats it, all i want is to see some output.... hit "test in browser" in dreamweaver and up it pops, hit debug in phped and nothing but timeout popup... what gives?

Can somone PLEASE explain how to get this working?

Most likely you don't have php_dbg.dll module installed with PHP. Read phpED manual for that, installation procedure explained there.

aha, interestingly that the popup tells about the same
Nobody read docs nor popups...

ok, so i didnt read the popup! Does anyone ever read popups?!

Ah well, onto the next problem...

I've got as far as copying the php_dbg.dll file from phped to my php extentions folder (c:\php\extentions\) but have read the doc and its seens that the dll is for php4.3.3, im using PHP4.3.4

Can someone tell me where to get a dll for php4.3.4 ?

sure. Take one for php-4.3.3. It's known to be compatible and works fine.
Actually TechPlatform 3.1 contains php_dbg.dll-4.3.4 the same as php_dbg.dll-4.3.3.

ok, i have now copied the dll to the c:\php\ dir (my php instalation dir) and added this to php.ini:

extension=php_dbg_433.dll

[Debugger]
debugger.enabled=on
debugger.profiler_enabled=on
debugger.hosts_allow=localhost, 127.0.0.1,localhost:9000
debugger.hosts_deny=ALL
debugger.ports=7869, 10000/16

I've created a project and all the files in the website are visable in the file browser, i have edited the project settings, set:

root dir: w:\web\
run mode: HTTP remote WEB server
root URL: http://localhost/
remote root dir: w:\web\

open a file, hit run, i get the expected output.

open a file, hit debug, i get this error in the output window:

DBG
Failed to start debug session
reason:
failed to establish connection to the client address 127.0.0.1:7869


What am i missing?

It means that either DbgListener was not run or DbgListener was run on a different port or you have a firewall installed that protects your localhost from itself.

yep it was the filewall.

It's all working sweetly now, many thanks to all that helped..
