Xdebug in WAMP 7.0.3

dirkbez 2019-02-28 14:43:45 UTC #1

Trying to load php_xdebug.dll, constantly getting "failed loading EXT_PATH/php_xdebug.dll" - the version of xdebug included in the stack 2.5.5

Same when trying the latest version as instructed by xdebug.org wizard (php_xdebug-2.6.1-7.0-vc14-nts-x86_64.dll)- version 2.6.1

Same when trying to load ZendDebug.dll

Opsys: Win10 Pro

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Thnx Dirk B.

Hi @dirkbez,

Could you give me the exact steps to reproduce the issue on WAMP 7.0.30?

I installed WAMP 7.0.30 a while ago. I have been developing PHP apps using Codelobster (installs it's own debugger as a normal php extenstion). I now want to change my IDE to PHPStorm. In order to use PHPStorm's debugging, I have to have php_xdebug installed. Documentation provided by Bitnami indicated that xdebug was installed but not activated.
I then uncommented the zend_extention=php_xdebug.dll line in the php.ini file under the [XDebug] section. in the command prompt i ran php -v to check if the extension has loaded and that is when the failed loading error came up.
Google research indicated it might be a version issue, i then followed the instructions provided by xdebug to determine the correct version. Downloaded, extracted and copied the php_xdebug-2.6.1-7.0-vc14-nts-x86_64.dll to the ext folder and added the path to php.ini file. Commented out the default zend_extension line and ran the php -v again. Same error, only this time referencing the new file name. Followed the same process to try and use ZendDebugger, with the same results.
Hope that helps. Screenshot of phpinfo

Hi @dirkbez,

I'm really sorry for this but our system automatically closed this, that's why the team didn't say anything. As @michiel mentioned, our team will review this and will provide more information.

You can close the issue - I upgraded my WAMP Stack and all is now working.

One thing for the WAMP stacks - it would be really great if the installer can update the files in an existing installation. At the moment you have to back up everything, uninstall the current Stack and the install the new Stack. The ideal would be to just update the files.

Hi @dirkbez,

Thank you for letting us know. Regarding the upgrades, that's something that is not supported in our stacks, you need to create a backup of your information and migrate it to a new installation.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
