When I start debugging the process stays there at 57% and says "waiting for XDebug session".
This is a duplicate post on StackOverFlow, but I tried all the answers, nothing worked.
It was working fine until before two days. I don't know what went wrong.
回答1:
Having used Eclipse to launch xdebug sessions in Firefox for ever now, all of a sudden 23/4/2013 it would not launch xdebug using Firefox. It gave me the launch 57% and hang problem.
It was quite happy to launch xdebug sessions in IE/Chrome/Safari/Opera but not Firefox.
The only thing I changed around this time was I upgrades my java runtime to 1.7.0_21 from a previous version ( cannot remember which but I did jump more than one release so it was probably 1.7.0_19 )
I took a look at the project log file, Check your projects workspace folder for a subfolder called .metadata where there should be a .log file, there is one of these for each project so be sure you are looking at the correct one.
This is what was in mine:
!SESSION 2013-04-23 11:06:21.238 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=M20130204-1200 java.version=1.7.0_21 java.vendor=Oracle Corporation BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_GB Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.browser 4 0 2013-04-23 11:07:32.584 !MESSAGE Launching C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe has failed. !STACK 0 java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.browser.browsers.MozillaBrowser$BrowserThread.openBrowser(MozillaBrowser.java:94) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.browser.browsers.MozillaBrowser$BrowserThread.run(MozillaBrowser.java:165) Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(Unknown Source) ... 6 more
Because I saw this line java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program": CreateProcess error=2,
It made me thinks that for some reason java could no longer cope with folder names with spaces in them (very strange), so I changed the eclipse preferences and used the 8.3 naming convension C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\firefox.exe
Now it launches the xdebug session again!!
This is very strange as it does not seem to have problems with
C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe OR
C:\Program Files\Safari\Safari.exe OR
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
So all I can think of is that it does not like 2 folder names with spaces in them for some obsqure reason, because it wont launch firefox from C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe I assume it launches IE from a similiar folder named address as it is the default browser on this system.
Anyhow, the solution for me was to change the eclipse preferences ->General -> Web Browser -> Firefox to use the 8.3 DOS directory naming convension.
Hope this helps

riggsfolly's analysis and solution are both correct, however for some reason my eclipse would not allow me to use the DOS 8.3 naming convention. As an alternative for those who run into the same issue you can try the following:
- Create a parallel folder structure but do it without spaces (eg. "C:\ProgramFiles86\MozillaFirefox\")
- Download and install firefox, using the custom installation options to install to your new 'spaceless' directory
- In eclipse preferences ->General -> Web Browser: Make a new entry (eg. "Firefox2") and point it at your new installation (eg. C:\ProgramFiles86\MozillaFirefox\firefox.exe").
- Finishing touch - use Mozilla Sync between the two browsers so you don't have to worry about outfitting your new Firefox.

And the easiest way I used to find out the 8.3 compatible windows path of Mozilla Firefox is as below.
C:\>dir .* /x
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is XXXX-XXXX
Directory of C:\

In addition to RiggsFolly's life-saving solution, maybe the following is useful for anyone.
Issue 1: different path on 32 bits and 64 bits Windows 7
On 32 bits Windows 7, the path is: C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\firefox.exe
On 64 bits Windows 7, the path is: C:\PROGRA~2\MOZILL~1\firefox.exe
(Note the different figure behind PROGRA~ , as I figured out by Abu Sithik's post)
Issue 2: Where to set the path?
You should do the setting (as RiggsFolly had already correctly said) in: Window > Preferences > General > Web Browser > Firefox > Edit
and NOT (as I did intuitively) in Run > Debug Configurations > Web browser > Firefox - Internal Server. At least, as far as I tried out (but I'm a relative Eclipse novice) it seems this setting doesn't influence the path that Eclipse/xdebug/java uses to start the browser in an xdebug session.
I hope this helps anyone prevent wasting time as I did fiddling around in vain, when switching between computers running resp. 32 bits and 64 bits Windows, and having to change the path to the firefox executable, until at a certain moment by luck I got the correct ways as indicated above...

I have the same problem, but suddently works when I select de 'Default system web browser instead of Firefox directly. My default web browser is Firefox and now it starts oks.
I hope this helps.
