I was writing to /tmp and all the users had write access. I did put the
reference as a full path /tmp/xdebug.log.

I set it up using zend_extension=/path/to/xdebug.so. As I said before,
the other non-interactive parts of xdebug work like the reformat of the
var_dump and the error messages. I just can't seem to find a way for it
to respond to a remote debug session. I'm not sure what other steps to
go through to verify this.

Thanks for the tips.
