Getting Xdebug to work with Dev Desktop I'm trying to get xdebug to work with Dev Desktop.

I am following the instructions in this guide:

https://www.drupal.org/node/1846954

and I still get the message, "waiting to connect" well after it should have already connected and the site is showing in my browser.

My zend_extension also starts out as:

zend_extension="C:\Program Files (x86)\DevDesktop\php5_5\ext\php_xdebug.dll"


And I'm not sure which version to get off of here:

http://xdebug.org/download.php

I'm somewhat lost - I have no problems getting xdebug to work on OSX or Linux, but I seem to be having real trouble getting it to work on Windows
Well to address your concern about which version to download, if the instructions state Program Files (x86) then you want the 32-bit version of the dll. I'm not sure VC++ 9 or VC++11 should matter. As far as thread safe, you should check phpinfo() in your DevDesktop environment to make sure it's thread safe or not.

The XDebug site has a nifty wizard form where you can copy/paste your phpinfo() into it and it will point you to the version you need.
