I am running PhpED 5.8 on Windows 7, and have Apache/PHP running on a Linux server which is also on my home local area network. Since both PC’s are behind my modem/fire wall, I am not running firewall software on either.

Since both PC’s are on a local area network, I expect I don’t need to deal with SSH, correct? I've added the following to my php.ini. Since I am not using SSH, I probably don't need to add localhost to the list of hosts_allowed, right?

zend_extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/dbg-php-5.1.so
[debugger]
debugger.enabled=on
debugger.profiler_enabled=on
debugger.hosts_allow=localhost 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.103
debugger.hosts_deny=ALL
debugger.ports=7869, 10000/16

I go through the Settings Wizard, and Checking PHP Installation shows that everything is okay. I then get to the second to last screen, and “Check debug session” is grayed out, and I can’t check it. When I then click Next, I get “Warning: (-51) debug session is not checked”.

Can anyone please, please, please help me.

I still have not been able to resolve this, and would appreciate any guidance. If I should have posted this elsewhere, please let me know. Thank you.

Looks like it was a permission conflict. And no SSH isn't needed.
