xdebug does not activate the breakpoint

Question

I am using Netbeans to do my project(codeigniter) and my xdebug is configured in php ini. The following are the setting:

zend_extension = \"C:\\xampp\\php\\ext\\php_x         


        

Answer 1

This is what I did with the help of Derick's answer:

Step 1: Change xdebug.remote_port=9000 to xdebug.remote_port=9001

Step 2:

1. Change the debugging port in Netbeans. Go to Tools >> Options >> Click PHP tab
2. Under PHP tab click debugging
3. Change the debugger port : 9001
4. Change Session ID : netbeans-xdebug

Step 3: Restart server and netbeans

Step 4: Set a breakpoint and try

Answer 2

First of all, you do need to turn on xdebug.remote_enable=1 — without that, debugging is not activated and it will not work.

For requests after the first "login", xdebug.remote_autostart should deal with that, but it is possible that Netbeans doesn't accept the new incoming debugging connection. To find out what Xdebug is trying to do, add the setting xdebug.remote_log=c:\temp\xdebug.log and investigate what's in the log. (You might have to change the path).
