how to setup basic LAMP stack GNU Linux Debian 11 - (Apache2 php8.1 MariaDB) (how to install xdebug - step debugging php requests in eclipse (LAMP web development stack))

the possibility to step (!) debug requests, as they appear on the server is a neat feature.

  • installed GNU Linux Debian 11 + MATE Desktop
  • installed apache2 + php8.1
  • installed eclipse
  • installed xdebug
    • and as usually, xdebug + eclipse do not like to cooperate out of the box, why?
    • because they can not agree on what port to use
      • latest eclipse wants to connect to xdebug per default on port 9000
      • latest xdebug wants to connect to eclipse per default on por 9003
      • c’mon guys. get in contact with each other and set a standard
      • (this has cost me about 2h of debugging around eclipse preferences and xdebug.ini files)
  • so the below guide is still usable:

    • ``` php -v; # is also a good way to test if xdebug is loaded when php is started vim /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini; # no xdebug related settings are here vim /etc/php/8.1/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini; # they are all here and read like:

    [XDebug]
    zend_extension=xdebug.so
    xdebug.mode=debug
    xdebug.start_with_request=trigger
    xdebug.start_with_request = 1
    xdebug.remote_autostart = on
    xdebug.log_level = 7
    xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 1
    xdebug.profiler_enable = 0
    xdebug.remote_enable = 1
    xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "/tmp"

    systemctl restart apache; # changes need to be made active by restarting webserver

    - when everything is installed go to eclipse -> window -> preferences

what is btw excellent done is this “Open Source project funding and progress status page”:

so every user can see, what is the progress “where is it hanging” of the software project, is it a lack of funding?

suggestion: what still missing a “still todo” todo list, where user’s can post suggestions and vote on features 🙂
