Problems debugging virtual host with Netbeans

Question

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10
I installed apache2 and downloaded the php 5.3.2 tar.gz, untarred and compiled.
I then installed xdebug via pecl.

After that I installed mysql-server and PhpMyAdmin. PhpMyAdmin can change apache2 settings, and now, xdebug is no longer included in my phpinfo(); overview.

I've done a search for all possible php.ini files, but the 2 that I've found both link the xdebug.so file correctly.

Yet still, Xdebug won't show. I have used and tested /etc/php5/php.ini and that worked, but it seems apache is now using a different php.ini file, and I don't know how to change that setting. Can anyone tell me how to bring it back to what it used to be?

Also, installing apache, php and Xdebug was something I did by use of this video: http://vimeo.com/8005503
