PHP xdebug Problem Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx

Once you've a running php installation on your Ubuntu 10.4 you may want to add xdebug to it.

It's simple as pie with one pitfall in it.

Just type

apt-get install php5-xdebug

After that you have to add these lines to your php.ini

display_error = On
html_errors = On

xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%R
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "/tmp/"


to get it work. Restart your HTTP-daemon to make changes take effect.

e.g.

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And check out

apt-get install kcachegrind

to handle the xdebug logs in /tmp
