Sorry for bringing this topic up from the grave, but I have similar issues

I can't manage to install both zend debugger and dbg - when I have zend enabled, I cannot debug in phped... When I disable zend, everything works as expected.
The server is unix, apache 2.2 + php 5.1.2

Is there something I can do, or I just have to pick one of them?

Thanks in advance!

edit: Oh, sorry - I am using the DBG from phped 4.5, forgot to mention that

That's right. You can't use multiple debuggers simulatenously. You can't even get them properly loaded and initialized. It's because they all use the same callbacks and it makes them conflicting with each other.
On the other hand, why would you need to get them operated on the same web?

Well, just for testing purposes - I've been using Zend debugger for over a year now, and I just want to see how DBG works. Actually, a colleague of mine has found a workaround for this - by using different php.ini files for specific virtual hosts, you can swap Zend/DBG only where you want to... Bit of a maintenance nighmare, but works good enough

hmm...
I didn't know that different VHosts could use different php.ini files. Could you please share the idea?
I thought it's possible with separated httpd daemons only

Sure

All you have to do is to place a PHPINIDir directive in the vhost config, like this:


The other vhosts continue to use the global directive

Unfortunately, as I said, this is only a workaround - one could pretty easy mess up the PHP configuration by using two php.ini files like this...

I'm having the same problem. Can smeone point me at the post that showed how to resolve this issue.

My php.ini file - relevent parts look slike this:

[Zend]
studio.install_dir=/usr/local/Zend
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=allowed_hosts
zend_debugger.httpd_uid=48
zend_gui_password=185af95964d6e5b2fe1cd212c508c1a9

zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so

;zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/modules/dbg.so-5.0.x

;[debugger]
;debugger.enabled=on
;debugger.profiler_enabled=on
;debugger.hosts_allow=192.168.10.196,localhost
;debugger.hosts_deny=ALL
;debugger.ports=7869, 10000/16

------

I've commented out the dbg stuff to get the apache server running again. If I uncomment them, php won't run. I I also comment out teh zend debugger lines still no php (PHP 5.0.4)

I don't need to run both at the same time, I have been using Zend Studio p until V5.1.

Thanks

please make sure that this line
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/modules/dbg.so-5.0.x
appears first, before any other zend_extension lines in your php.ini
then make sure that you have right dbg.so-5.0.x (taken from right archive intended for your platform)
you may want to run ldd /usr/lib/php/modules/dbg.so-5.0.x to see if ldd accepts it and shows its dependencies.
finally, try to launch again and if the problem is there, check apache's error_log and php.log (if you have it)

Thanks - partial success I think but not the full thing. I have re-ordered php.ini as you suggest:

[Zend]

phhpinfo() gives:

his program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:

with Zend Debugger v5.1.0, Copyright (c) 1999-2006, by Zend Technologies

but there is no seperate DBG module section as I understand there should be.

ldd gives:

# ldd /usr/lib/php/modules/dbg.so-5.0.x

libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00ad7000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00355000)

Apache and PHP are now running after making your change. Am I missing something else?

Zend reproduces one bug in their Extension Manager with every new release they do.
Effectively it blocks other extensions from being properly initialized.
I'd recommend you to load their Debugger and Optimizer with two appropriately formed lines zend_extension=/full/path/to/module
and comment out the line for the "manager": zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so

FYI, if you are going to work with NuSphere PhpED, you need debugger version 3, not 2.15 that you're trying to install. With version 3 everything will go much smoother.
