Ok, this one is probably answered elsewhere, but for the life of me I cannot find it

Scenario is
freeBSD, PHP 5.0.3
Zend Engine v2.0.3, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies
with DBG v2.11.32, (C) 2000,2005, by Dmitri Dmitrienko

This all seems fine,
dbg listener listening on WinXp

Using VS 2003 and VS.php, this is all fine set debug to remote host

Try to run app and the webpage I get back is
DBG

Failed to start debug session

reason:
client host address [hostNameHere] lookup failed

php.ini looks like
extension=dbg.so
[debugger]
debugger.enabled=on
debugger.profiler_enabled=on
debugger.hosts_allow=devMachineHere
debugger.hosts_deny=ALL
debugger.ports=7869, 10000/16

so no idea, any help appreciated, even pointing me in the right forum would be good

it means that debugger module running on the server has failed to resolve [hostNameHere] to IP address.
A DNS problem?

So what you are saying is that I should be able to lookup the machineName.domain.local via the DNS of the server, and this is not something that the VS.PHP should be pushing to the server via the URL.

Thanks

I'm not familar with VS.PHP and would recommend you contact their support.

i am in charge of the QA of VS.Php and also provide support.

when you do a remote debugging, make sure that inside your VS.Php project properties you are making sure to use the proper port that DBG is going to connect on your machine.

Also, in order to best help you resolve your problem, i would need to know what build number of VS.Php you are using.

best Regards,
Steve.
