Problems loading xdebug in wampserver2.0

Question

I have an issue loading xdebug in apache server.

Here are my settings:

Apache 2.2.11 MySQL 5.1.36 PHP 5.2.0 Windows 7 Wampserver 2.0

php -i and php -m show that the xdebug module php_xdebug-2.1.0RC1-5.2-vc6.dll is installed.

However phpinfo() does not show that xdebug is installed. I have tried starting apache as a service, through the Wampserver UI, and by running httpd directly (as administrator) and I have checked permissions on the php_xdebug-2.1.0RC1-5.2-vc6.dll file.

There are no warnings in the logs. In the apache error log I get:

[Thu Jun 24 11:20:55 2010] [notice] Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) PHP/5.2.0 configured -- resuming normal operations

Has anyone any ideas?

Thank you,

John

Answer 1

I solved my issue as I was using wampserver2.0 and naively assumed I could use c:\wamp\bin\php\php{version#}\php.ini to affect my configuration.

In actual fact one must use c:\wamp\apache\Apache{version#}\bin\php.ini to configure php on the wamp server.

Hope this helps anyone else who might one day tear their hair out over this.
