when I try to debug Joomla 1.5 with phpED 5.5 it blocks and then crashes. No debug is possible. Can someone help me? Thanks.

Are you debuging on a local web server (something like XAMPP) installed on your PC, or on a live web server?

If it is a live webserver, you may need to set up an SSH tunnel.

The other thing to remember when debugging Joomla is that you have to use index.php as the entry point.

You might get more focused help here if you were a bit more explicit about how you are being blocked. What is the message you get?

I have a local web server (installed apache and php5 from scratch), but I use the rum mode: HTTP mode (SVR local WEB server). I also set index.php as entry point.
When I run the debug, two case presents:
- blank page, with source html code <HTML></HTML>
- freeze of the PhpED and i must terminate the process.

do you think I make some mistake?

Thanks again.

Running in HTTP mode (SVR local WEB server) means you are using PhpEd's internal web server I believe. I have a similar set up but I find it easier to use a package like XAMPP which provides Apache/PHP/MySQL at the latest levels in one convenient bundle.

The way I have PhpEd set up is to use HTTP mode (3rd Party Web Server). You need to install the debugger as a php extension which involves copying the debugger dll file into the ext folder and updating you php.ini file to activate it. The folks at NuSphere have made this very easy by providing a php file called dbg-wizard.php which you can get from their website here: http://www.nusphere.com/products/dbg_wizard_download.htm

Just copy it into your root webserver directory and run it from the browser (http://localhost/dbg-wizard.php). It will query your set-up and tell you what you need to do.

Although it talks about a remote webserver, it is the same deal for apache running on your PC.

Good luck!
