EasyApache4 Xdebug

[nosajix]

I cannot for the life of me get xdebug to install on php 56 compiled with ea4. I have tried EVERYTHING - still in the end, my php -v states:

ea-php-cli Copyright 2017 cPanel, Inc.
Xdebug requires Zend Engine API version 220121212.
The Zend Engine API version 220131226 which is installed, is newer.
Contact Derick Rethans at Xdebug: Documentation for a later version of Xdebug.

I have tried to manually compile xdebug using ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/php/56/bin/php-config and the make install says it installed the extentions at
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/php/56/lib/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/
but still same output. What the heck is going on?

Hello,

I've been unable to reproduce the issue. Here are the steps I took:

1. Browsed to "WHM >> Module Installers >> PHP Pecl".

2. Selected "ea-php56" as the PHP version.

3. Searched for "xdebug" and installed it.

4. Ran the following command and confirmed it was installed:

# /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/php -v

Do you see the same result when using the "/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/php -v" command instead of just "php -v"? Are you using the latest EA4 packages (e.g. no updates are available when running the "yum update" command)?

Thank you.

ok, sorry to bother again but i am twice as confused now. my phpinfo shows xdebug no problem however I still get the message:

/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/php -v

The Zend Engine API version 220131226 which is installed, is newer.

Is it possible that there are two references to loading xdebug?

Hello,

Try uninstalling the PECL module via "WHM >> Module Installers" and then review the steps you took when you attempted to manually configure/install it. Did you setup any custom .ini files or entries in the php.ini file that may not have been removed?

Thank you.

it doesn't seem to work. they made some changes so i guess you guys should pull the appropriate versions as installing on php 5.6 doesn't work.:

Hi @katmai,

Version 2.6.1 was recently published as the stable release of the xdebug PHP PECL package by it's maintainers. It now requires PHP version 7.0. Since the PECL installer in WHM only permits the installation of stable releases PECL packages, you'd need to manually install the legacy version via the command line if you want to install it for PHP version 5.6:

/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/pecl install https://pecl.php.net/get/xdebug-2.5.5.tgz

Keep in mind we discourage installing legacy PECL releases because they are no updated by their maintainers.

Thank you.
