[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: pdt+zend debugger+xampp

["Tobias" <eclipse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Sal,
as you have a local apache server you don't need the all-in-one package with 
the executable. Unfortunately I can't help you with the executable.
All I can do is give you a short description of my setup. I used the 
instructions from 
http://www.thierryb.net/pdtwiki/index.php?title=Using_PDT_:_Installation_:_Installing_the_Zend_Debugger 
to set up my debugger.

Instead of the all-in-one I use the JavaEE Eclipse so I have all 
requirements for pdt. pdt is installed over the update manager as plugin.
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/

In the php.ini I added
[Zend]
zend_extension_ts=<pathToPhp>/ext/ZendDebugger.dll
zend_debugger.allow_hosts=127.0.0.1, <myLocalIp>
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always

and installed the debugger from
http://downloads.zend.com/pdt/server-debugger/
in the ext path of my php.

Now the only thing I need to do is to start the apache. Then I right click 
on the script and select debug as php web page. Now check that the path on 
the apache is correct and press ok.

For your setup with the server root it is pretty much personal preference 
what you do. I integrated the workspace in the apache with an alias.

Alias /workspace "myworkspace"
<Directory "myworkspace">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Now I can reach it under localhost/workspace without making the server root 
to the workspace.
For the upload it is probably the best to ignore the dot file. But don't 
ignore .htaccess and .htuser files.

I hope this helps you,
Tobias
