I suspect its something simple, but I'm tearing my hair out here (and I haven't got much left!)

I've installed the debugger module (linux/636/dbg.so-4.3.10) into /usr/lib/php4/20020429/ and it shows up in PHPInfo (http://www.solo-form.co.uk/test.php)

Problem is though, I can't connect to it, it just timesout from within PHPEd.

I've checked the log files and I can see the request from PHPEd, but it just fails to debug.

This is the section from the PHP INI file...

[debugger]
debugger.enabled=on
debugger.profiler_enabled=on
debugger.hosts_allow=ALL
debugger.hosts_deny=ALL
debugger.ports=7869, 10000/16
;debugger.fail_silenty=Off

I put the hosts_allow to all to check it wasn't that which was set wrong, but it made no difference after restarting apache.

I'm running PHPEd 4.0.1.

I've also added PHPEd into the exceptions list within windows firewall.

The thing is, when I run netstat -na|grep 7869 it doesn't return any matches, unless I've just tried to debug and then get this....



(obviously added the xxx's to obsure the IP).

Any help would really be appreciated

Ignore me, it was my router's firewall blocking the port!

Its amazing how clearer you think after a cup of tea or coffee, isn't it!

I'll leave the thread here incase anyone else falls down the same hole.
