How to enable Xdebug support

First you need to quit Zend Studio for Eclipse if it is still running.
  • Got to your Eclipse folder, for this article for instance /usr/local/ZendStudio :
    cd /usr/local/ZendStudio .
  • Enter the plugins folder (i.e. /usr/local/ZendStudio/plugins ):
    cd plugins .
  • inside the plugins folder create a new folder named disabled (i.e. /usr/local/ZendStudio/plugins/disabled ):
    mkdir disabled .
  • Now move all files starting with com.zend.php.debug into the disabled folder:
    mv com.zend.php.debug* disabled .
  • Go back to your main Zend Studio for Eclipse folder and start it via:
    ./ZendStudio -clean .
  • Xdebug is available in the main preferences dialog under PHP Debugging.
If you're working on Windows or Mac OS X, the procedure is likewise - you just need to remember the differences on the command line.
