Summary: Xdebug module doesn't load in apache on debian
Description:
My xdebug module stopped working on debian sarge after an apache update.

I've installed xdebug from the source, following the README file.

and added the directive in php.ini

zend_extension="/usr/lib/php4/20020429/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable=On

It was working fine enough.

Now I've no more xdebug detail in the phpinfo(). I haven't found yet any
error log message interesting about xdebug loading failure.

I've tryed to recompile the xdebug module after a «make distclean», no
success either.

I've now reinstalled the php suite version 4.3.10-2 from my archive
package. It fix my problem and reenable the Xdebug module.

But doesn't help with the bug sorry. :-(

Here is some command from unix command line which may help someone else:

# remove new package 4.3.10-8
apt-get remove libapache-mod-php4 php4-cgi php4-cli php4-common php4-curl
php4-dev php4-gd

# install the old one manually from .deb file
cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
dpkg -i `ls | grep php | grep -v 10-8`

.deb fiels are :

libapache-mod-php4_4%3a4.3.10-2_i386.deb
php4-cgi_4%3a4.3.10-2_i386.deb
php4-cli_4%3a4.3.10-2_i386.deb
php4-common_4%3a4.3.10-2_i386.deb
php4-curl_4%3a4.3.10-2_i386.deb
php4-dev_4%3a4.3.10-2_all.deb
php4-gd_4%3a4.3.10-2_i386.deb
php4-mysql_4%3a4.3.10-2_i386.deb
php4_4%3a4.3.10-2_all.deb

Reload php4 module in apache:

Add the line:
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so
To the file: /etc/apache/modules.conf

Not added by dpkg -i ??

Restart apache, of course. ;-)
/etc/init.d/apache restart

I've wrote an apt preferences file to Pin those package to be kept at this
version, but wasn't able to ask apt to downgrade those packages:

cat /etc/apt/preferences

No bug here. The Debian maintainer finds it necessary to build everything
as ZTS (http://derickrethans.nl/why_i_dont_use_debians_php_packages.php)
and thus you need to use:
zend_extension_ts=/full/path/to/xdebug.so
