Topic: Xdebug extension for PHP 5 contrib

[HebsgaardS]

Does anyone know how to install the Xdebug extension (http://xdebug.org/) with the PHP 5 contrib for SMEServer 7?

Yes, but it is not trivial as you will have to manually compile from source code. Perhaps I might be able to mock up something as I already have it compiled somewhere IIRC. I will have a look around later today for you.

Thanks, that would be great! I would rather avoid installing gcc on the server if possible!

I am currently trying out gallery 3 and it has a big slowdown on all pageloads (5 seconds+) so the gallery developers have asked for som debug info using Xdebug.

I have been looking but I have not found a compatible version. I am not sure if pecl is installed with php5-cgi otherwise you could try and install it through pecl.
Here are some pointers: http://www.spiration.co.uk/post/1372/how%20to%20install%20xdebug%20on%20linux

I tried to follow the instructions on the linked page, but when I try to run pecl install xdebug I get the following output:

Code: [Select]

configure.in:9: warning: underquoted definition of PHP_WITH_PHP_CONFIG
  run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
  or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal

      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
ERROR: `phpize' failed
Any ideas on how to fix the error?

You are most likely using pecl from the PHP4 package (also installed on your machine). What is the output of

Code: [Select]

rpm -qf `which pecl`
From a quick look at the php5-cgi package it does not contain pecl AFAICT

[HebsgaardS]

the output is:

Code: [Select]

php-pear-4.3.9-3.26
So I guess you are right

I have been trying to compile a xdebug version for php5-cgi. Please try to install by enabling my repository like stated here. It might take a few hours for the mirrors to sync.

After that you should be able to install it like this:

Code: [Select]

yum install php5-cgi-Xdebug --enablerepo=snetram
After installation you need to modify the php5-cgi configuration file (/etc/php5/php.ini) and add the following line:

Code: [Select]

zend_extension="/usr/lib/php5/xdebug.so"
the rest of the options is listed on the documentation pages of Xdebug.

After that it might be needed to restart your webserver like this to reload the changes:

Code: [Select]

sv t httpd-e-smith
You can check if Xdebug is loaded after that by executing the following line of code:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/php5/php-cgi -i | grep xdebugIt should output something like this:

Code: [Select]

[root@smetest7-i386 ~]# /usr/bin/php5/php-cgi -i | grep xdebug

Hi,
I got Xdebug working woth PHP5 now  . Thanks so much for the great effort you put into helping me set it up! Now I just hope the gallery developers can find the problem and fix it before gallery3 is released.

Thanks for reporting back and i hope you are able to solve you issues... I will wait a little while for installing Gallery 3 as is still beta AFAIK.
