Re: You must specify the PHP executable used for the debug session

Great information Hendri,

I did some research. The php.ini file has not been modified and there are
no other php.ini files on my system, so that would account for the error.

I ran the wizzard again. I'll include the prompts and my input. It is
giving me an error but I didn't realize it because I just clicked 'finished'
at the end.

Select Installation to configure
- Installations found on your system : E:\Program Files\perl\PHP\php.exe
- Setup this installation : E:\Program
Files\perl\PHP\php.exe
NEXT >

ini file to be copied
E:\Program Files\perl\PHP\php.ini
Put debug version of ini at
E:\Program Files\perl\PHP\ (It will not change the
file if I do this, so I altered the destination to E:\Program
Files\perl\PHP\dev\ and it created a new ini file)
NEXT >

currently configured extensions directory
E:\Program Files\perl\PHP\extensions (If I use the debug directory
of ..\php\ then this directory is not created)
NEXT >

The results.....

Using the directory ..\php\ above, I get the following message:
Sorry, PHP Debugging configuration failed. Unable to copy [E:\Program
Files\perl\PHP\php.ini] to [E:\Program Files\perl\PHP] Please consult the
help file
for more information on configuring PHP. If you continue to have problems,
contact yadda yadda yadda

Using the directory ..\php\dev\ above, I get the following message:
Sorry, PHP Debugging configuration failed. PHP is configured but was unable
to load
the debugger extension. Please consult the help file yadda yadda yadda

After doing this, and creating a new .ini file, I tried copying it into the
...\php\ directory but still was unable to run the debugger.

Hendri, you have been a great help in helping me to understand the workings
of the system. Knowing what I should be seeing is great. I now know what
direction I am facing. Can you shed a little more light on the subject?
And yes, when it did create the new .ini file, it had all that xdebug stuff
in it. Ian

Hi Hendri,

Under Edit>Preferences>Languages>PHP I have entered:

Use this interpreter --> E:\Program Files\perl\PHP\php.exe
Directory containing php.ini --> E:\Program Files\perl\PHP\

Under Debugger information, I get the following message:

WARNING! PHP is not configured for debugging. You can use the
configuration wizzard to configure PHP for debugging.

I have tried running the wizzard and it says it has done its thing, but
I
keep getting the same error.

Any other thoughts? Thanks. Ian

Hi,

I'm new to perl and have run into some roadblocks while trying to run
tutorials.

I have installed Apache v2.2.3
I have installed ActivePerl v6.6.1.638
I have installed php v5.2.0
I am running Komodo professional, version 3.5.3

and running through the guestbook.php tutorial which came with Komodo.

Following Komodo's instructions, I click on Debug
then 'Run without debugging' (They say to click 'start', but start is
not an
option I am presented with)
I am then given a debugging window where I can enter environment
variables,
select CGI envronment, etc.
I enter the data as the tutorial specifies, but when I click 'OK', I
get
the
error message "You must specify the PHP executable used for the debug
session"

How do I do this?

I've tried Preperences, Languages, Perl and PHP as per searches on the
WEB
but to no avail. Has anyone seen this error? Can anyone guide me to
resolving it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Ian




You've must have missed it. It's there....
Edit > Prefrences
Goto Languages > PHP
See Debugger Configuration

Did Komodo modified the INI file and put it in a "Debug" directory?
If it did, it will be something like (at the beginning of the modified
INI) (Different path of course):
; xdebug config added by Komodo
zend_extension_ts=c:\dev\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_port=9000

Do you use firewall? Try allowing komodo to access the network (ie.
which is just listening and sending)
to your own local machine.

If everything is as it is, I don't know what else is wrong.
Keep posting for the result tho.

BTW, there is no start on the "Debug" menu.... The tutorial is wrong,
I've got thrown off too once.
I mainly just use the toolbar with the play ( ie. > ) or pressing F5
