SOLVED: xdebug break on index.php OK, any other .php breakpoint not work

[AGeorge]

Hi I have read elsewhere this is a problem, but with older version than my Netbeans which is 6.7.

I'm trying to debug Joomla extension php files served on localhost, with 'Run as Local Web site' , not Run as Script. Xdebug is initializing ok, as it will stop on the first line of index.php, but once the ide leaves index.php debug stops (breakpoints in any other module non-functional) until code re-enters index.php. Maybe losing the project path information somehow which is http://localhost/joomla1.6/ however, if thats the case I cant for the life of me see where.

Any advice appreciated. PHP ver 5.2.10 Xdebug php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.2.dll Firefox 3.5, Netbeans extn, Firebug 1.4.3

Tks kindly. Al.
PS I fear that this may not be able to be fixed:

Hi thanks for your valued reply. Unfortunately, I am trying to debug other file so system starts on index.php debug other file is not possible but debug index.php is. It is a known problem with Netbeans for a long time and seems nobody has bothered to fix it up. I think maybe my best solution is to move to Eclipse IDE which does not have this problem, but am happy to try anything else.

Tried IDE Netbeans 6.8 beta, which still does not have PHP debug on anything outside of index.php. I hope its an error of mine that someone can correct me on, because in the past for single PHP files, Netbeans has been great for me.

BTW this debug problem was recognised way back in Oct 2008 for crying out loud.

the default debug page is index.php
but you can debug what page you want
on the tool bar
you can choose debug->debug file(ctrl+shift+F5)
then it will not starts on index.php and you can debug other page

As per OP, the web server is local filesystem.
Using the method you describe unfortunately does not help.
Eclipse still debugs fine, but Netbeans only debugs index.php.
Here is the log:

Solved by me who caused an error in setup:
In your mysql settings, if there is a home url, make sure its set on localhost, not www.myurl.com. I only noticed this today that when going from localhost/index.php which was being debugged correctly, to another url eg admin.php, the url changed to my www one.
Error can be introduced when you have both localhost and remote versions and same database, typically by backing up and restoring from one to the other. Thank goodness; I was really missing netbeans after using eclipse.
