yes, the full path must be provided for zend_extension directive. That’s by nature. And the OS doesn’t matter, it’s no Debian specific issue.

Short answer - yes!
Somebody from internals will have to tell you why, though.
One thing I really never understood is the difference between loading modules as extensions or zend_extensions, and wgat is the best choice if a module supports both ways…

Yes, you have to use the full path for the zend_extension lines. It’s (unfortunately) just how it is. I tried to make it a bit clearer in the Xdebug docs now.

Yes, zend_extension needs a full path.

Seems to be the way to go on Debian-like systems. I did not have any other choice on my linux box running Kubuntu 7something, only the full path worked.

Which reminds me that I need to send a postcard as well…

Yes, zend_extension always requires the full path. That caught me a few times too. Mix that with having to tackle _debug to the settings name when using a debug build, and you can be sure to mess this up at least once before getting it right.

Yes, you have to use absolute path - this is clearly stated in Xdebug’s installation manual (and manuals for every other zend extensions out there).

Hi!

Yes, a zend_extension is not the same as a standard php extension. It does not use the extension path. I always forget it too, or every two installs

I guessed that it wasn’t a Debian-specific problem. Debian is great and if the (dir-based) config wouldn’t be so modular I may not even have noticed this problem. Just because I probably would have used a full path in the first place.

Derick, there’s probably no way to miss this, now.
BTW: Would you prefer a postcard from Munich, Berlin or Mumbai?

In fact it would be great if extension could take full path as well…
