I have tried to find a solution for a time now and I'm starting to give up finding a decent description of how to make remote debugging possible. So for that reason I need some help from you guys.
So I have this VPS server i installed WAMP on. So I downloaded php_xdebug-2.0.3-5.3.0.dll
put it here:
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-2\ext

added extension in wamp through the menu in wamp tray icon.

Additionaly i added this in php.ini at the very bottom of the file:
zend_extension_ts=C:/wamp/bin/hp/php5.2.9-2/ext/php_xdebug-2.0.3-5.3.0.dll
zend_debugger.expose_remotely=always

When I create a new remote project on my client machine where I have vs.php installed I get the following error:
this server does not have a debug module installed in it

When clicking cancel:
Fail to create project. Missing debug module on server

Appreciate your help on this.

Look at the php-xdebug.ini file in the VS.Php programs directory. You need to enter a few more entries to load XDebug properly.

Then use phpinfo() to verify it is loaded properly.

I have this setting in the client machine where vs.php exist:

zend_extension_ts="C:\Program Files\Jcx.Software\VS.Php\2005\2.6\php 4\extensions\php_xdebug.dll"

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Module Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
[XDebug]
xdebug.idekey = vsphp
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=My ipnumber
xdebug.remote_port = 7870
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1

I couldn't find any good info what to enter in the ini files for php4 and php5

I found these lines as shown above but I'm not sure if this is nessesary:
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=My ipnumber

The phpinfo() will run on the server and I don't have any vs.php on the server but I installed xdebug on it so the xdebug logo is loaded and shown without any error.

Tried to create a new remote project but the same error occure.

Appreciate you help.

I recommend that you use DBG with PHP 4.

Also, even if the project wizard fails to detect that the debug module is not installed, it does not mean it won't work. If your phpinfo shows the module set correctly, you should be ok.

If you choose to use DBG, make sure you set DBG in your debug properties.
