Hi,
that's a presale-question:

Having installed phpED on a windows-XP-PC (development/tests) sometimes there is the need for "remote debugging" on an remote VPS-server where approx 35 users have their live-application running. (debian sarge with apache 2.0 under confixx-administration).

How can the remote-debugging be activated for e.g. user-no.35, user-no.22, user-no.12 on the remote debian server but not for the remaining 32 remote users?

Is there to use the confixx-http-special-method in the admin-area? Should there be placed different php.ini's in user-subdirectories? Can the work be done by special input into htaccess? Or is it not possible to use phpED-remote-debugging on remote vps?

Regards
Walter

Hi - this can be easily resolvd with debugger.hosts_allow instruction - set it to the IPs of the users you want to be able to start the debug session.
PLease let us know if we understood your question right

Hi - the IP is identical for all approx. 30 users - every user has different domain.
The VPS has one php.ini for all which can be overruled in the confixx-admin-tool under "http-special" where per each domain/each user one can overrule the global php.ini-statements using the statement "php_admin_flag".

Example:
ErrorLog /var/www/web41/log/error_log.log
php_admin_flag safe_mode off
<Directory "/var/www/web41/html/">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

"web41" is the user, but one can put in *per domain* the same overruling statements.

Alternatives to the above:
"Configuration settings from php.ini may be overridden by php_flag settings in the server configuration file or local .htaccess files. " from http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.apache.php

So to overrule the global php.ini on VPS I would prefer the .htaccess-file. Is that possible?
Best regards

if I got you right, you need a way to allow debugging for particular VHOSTs. It can be done with debugger.enabled=Off in the main php.ini and php_admin_value allowing debugger for the VHOSTs where debugger should be enabled. Please check php manual on how to do this http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php
