Xdebug and Webgrind couldn't get to work - apache

Question

I installed xdebug and webgrind on windows xampp 1.7.7 using this link: link . On going to http:// localhost/webgrind gives something as below instead of showing profiled script.No dropdown menu or something to select.
Select a cachegrind file above
(looking in C:\xampp\htdocs\webgrind\tmp/ for files matching /^cachegrind.out..+..+$/)
But I have 2 files in tmp folder starting with cachegrind.out names.
My settings in (xampp/php/php.ini) are
zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.2-5.3-vc9.dll"
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "C:\xampp\htdocs\webgrind\tmp"
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
webgrind/config.php settings
static $storageDir = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\webgrind\tmp';
static $profilerDir = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\webgrind\tmp';
I tried with these too
static $storageDir = '';
static $profilerDir = '/tmp';
But no result. How can I get it to work?

Answer 1

I got this accidentally, playing with values in xampp/php/php.ini file.
Here is the thing change value of xdebug.profiler_append from 0 to 1.

Answer 2

i had the same pb that took a long day having xampp 1.7.7 in my windows 7 OS i found that the
php_xdebug-2.2.2-5.3-vc9.dll was bad even it was php_xdebug-2.2.2-5.3-vc9.exe in the first download after a look at php.ini i found the good default xdebug just here with extra lignes so i delete the semi-colonnes ;
**[XDebug] zend_extension = "C:\Programs\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.auto_trace
; Type: boolean, Default value: 0
; When this setting is set to on, the tracing of function calls will be enabled just before the
; script is run. This makes it possible to trace code in the auto_prepend_file.
;xdebug.auto_trace = 0**
; xdebug.collect_includes
; Type: boolean, Default value: 1
yes there was the good php_xdebug.dll coming with xampp
so use it and dont look far :) maybe that will help you

Answer 3

it might be also the matter of relative addressing due to portable xampp.
you can change your Xdebug addresses like this.
before
[XDebug]
zend_extension = "\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "\xampp\tmp"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "127.0.0.1"
;xdebug.trace_output_dir = "\xampp\tmp"
after
[XDebug]
zend_extension = "D:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "D:\xampp\tmp"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "127.0.0.1"
;xdebug.trace_output_dir = "\xampp\tmp"
