Waiting for the XDebug Session 57% in Eclipse PDT

Asked 2/3, 2012 at 13:42 Answered 9/6, 2020 at 9:37

Browsing the hints when I write this message it seems this is a tough question with all kind of patches, but no clear answer ... Anyway, I try my chance, here it is. I'm using Eclipse Helios PDT on Ubuntu 10.04, with XDebug and the corresponding section in php.ini as following:

I've been using Eclipse for PHP development without any problem so far, but never used debugging. When I launch the project in debugging mode I get the application correctly launched in the browser in the background, my by Debug/PHPDebug perspective is empty, while in the Eclipse console I have the message in the Title of this posting. Thanks for any help

Got it! Although I did xdebug.remote_enable=On in php.ini, it seems that this is overwritten, for XDebug settings, by xdebug.ini. Therefore, I set the above in xdebug.ini and, finally, it works! HTH for others. – Hadlock 2/3, 2012 at 14:14

If Eclipse is stopping at 57%, then the remote debugging process couldn't be started. This might the case, when...

You didn't enable remote debugging in the file /PHP/php.ini:
```
xdebug.remote_enable=on
```
the remote host ip address (client which starts debug session (your IDE)) isn't correct:
```
xdebug.remote_host=IP_ADDRESS
```
Instead of defining the remote hosts ip address you can enable "multihost" remote debugging using:
```
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
```

Also checkout the xdebug documentation for all settings: http://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings

is the xdebug.ini is php.ini or some other file – Individualize 15/9, 2013 at 8:33

In my case I had to add those lines to /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini – Handsome 15/9, 2014 at 18:54

fixed by editing php.ini (only first two entries available in php.ini) – Duer 17/11, 2014 at 7:36

I have several projects, each with a virtual host in Nginx and my PHP Eclipse Neon 4.6.1 has as Base URL the project domain name, which differs for each project. I therefore could not use one single remote host as specified with xdebug.remote_host=IP_ADDRESS option. Thus using the xdebug.remote_connect_back = On option helped. – Maxfield 27/10, 2016 at 14:43

I was struggling to setup xdebug and eclipse for an age.

I use ubuntu 12.04 on a 32bit system. To setup the latest version of eclipse (juno) and the lamp tech stack i can strongly recommend this tutorial. There's a very good guide for setting up virtual hosts, too - script included.

Instead of following their section on installing xdebug, rather use xdebug's custom installation instructions referred to by @hakre in a related post.

Once xdebug shows up in the phpinfo output, you can continue by setting up eclipse for xdebug as described in the tutorial mentioned before.

If it still doesn't work make sure you

have read the answer above
xdebug's port is free and matches eclipse's debug configuration -> server tab -> server section -> configure button (9030 by default!)

and try

cutting the quotes from the zend_extension property within your php.ini file
putting all your xdebug-settings in your php.ini file - i dont have a xdebug.ini file in use.
repeating the filename within eclipse debug-configuration -> server tab -> url section -> last input field as shown below.

I found the problem for me was related to a specific browser, Firefox, and possibly due to an update of java to 7_21.

See my solution here Eclipse, XAMPP, xDebug - waiting for XDebug session - stays in 57%

My FF 20.0.1 also failed to send any debug requests. Once I switched my Eclipse's external web browser to Chrome, things started happening. Thanks – Astred 14/5, 2013 at 14:0

I had the same issue and searched for ages trying to fix it! I verified everything with my remote host, my port listening, and my Eclipse settings. I finally found the problem was that I needed to specify the IDE for XDebug in my php.ini, like:

xdebug.idekey=ECLIPSE_DBGP

Other people said Eclipse would work with the default (none specified), but not for me. – Seriema 3/4, 2015 at 18:40

Try edit the php.ini at: wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin

xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1

I had the ame issue - editing the php folder php.ini when using WAMP seems to be not enough.

Repay answered 20/12, 2014 at 10:15 Comment(1)

WAMP does not use the php.ini file located in php, that is the default installation it then creates another copy inside the Apache directory when in doubt just click on the WAMP icon then go to PHP->php.ini that will pull up the correct file. – Emanative 1/7, 2015 at 20:17

I had the exact same problem after I made a custom php build which accidentally replaced the original apache php module:

/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/libphp5.so
/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/libphp5-zts.so

To me, the fix is:

sudo rpm -e --nodeps php
sudo dnf install php
sudo service httpd restart

I found that for me it was the missing xdebug.idekey=ECLIPSE_DBGP in c:>\php\php.ini

Anyway this is my current php.ini configuration for xdebug, note I've not set the remote address:

[xdebug]
zend_extension=C:\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.9.6-7.3-vc15-nts-x86_64.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
;xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.10
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.show_local_vars=1
xdebug.expose_remotely=always
xdebug.default_enable=1
xdebug.idekey=ECLIPSE_DBGP

My environment: W10 x64, php7.3.18 non-threadsafe, IIS as webserver
