Troubles with Xdebug 2.1.0, XAMPP 1.7.3, Win7 32bit - apache

Looking for some help with getting xdebug to behave with my setup. My goal is to be able to debug Joomla code.
First let me preface saying that about a year ago I was able to get a version xdebug to work with Eclipse PDT 2.1 with xampp under Vista 32bit. However, now I'm on a new machine, and I wanted to get everything working with the latest versions. I did so by following through this walk-through. Now, trying to do the same thing I can't get it to work.
First, as per the walk-through, I downloaded php_xdebug-2.0.0-5.2.2.dll. Quickly realized that I needed an xdebug for php 5.3. So, I found the xdebugs Tailored Installation Instructions and followed that. My php.ini section looks as thus:
[XDebug]
;; Only Zend OR (!) XDebug
zend_extension = "D:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.3-vc6.dll"
xdebug.remote_enable=true
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=10000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir="D:\xampp\tmp"
So this got the xdebug to actually show up in the phpinfo(). But, in Eclipse when I Debug As Php Webpage, it at first appears to connect, however if I step to the next line of code the debugger just sits there saying it is stepping, indefinitely. Sometimes apache will crash. I tried ports 9000, and 10000 with no avail.
What I did find out is, if I use the the php_xdebug.dll that comes with XAMPP 1.7.3, I actually can connect and step without any issues, EXCEPT, that version of xdebug apparently has a major bug in it that causes all my variables to be listed as 'Uninitialized'. So it is basically useless, however, it does give some hope that I have some of this stuff set up correctly.
So, my current setup thus: Win7 32bit, XAMPP 1.7.3 (PHP 5.3.1, Apache 2.2.14), Eclipse PDT 2.2
I have very limited experience with basically all the tools here so I'm kinda at a loss of what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched some of the other posts here with similar issue but most of them appear to be for older versions of these components.

your report is somewhat confusing. As far as I understand you, your setup works as soon as you replace the XDebug-dll. Then your (primary) problem cannot be related to your settings, as far as you also adjusted zend_extension, of course.
Though xdebug.remote_port=10000 seems odd. Std is 9000. If you use 9000, the you have to tell Eclipse in Window/Preferences/PHP/Debug/Debuggers to also listen to that port for XDebug.

setting up monodevelop in xfce

I use this solution to have a VNC desktop session with a remote Ubuntu PC https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-16-04
I want to setup monodevelop on this machine. I followed the instructions and am able to run monodevelop and write code, however when I attempt to run it I get "Could not connect to the debugger". I tried various solutions suggesting changing environment variables to force monodevelop to use xterm and it did not work, however I'm not positive I did it correctly as the solution was meant for gnome and the modifications to the command for XFCE were not clear to me. At this point I'd be willing to get paid support, but I'm not even sure where I could find any for my use case. Does anyone have experience getting monodevelop to work on XFCE? If not what is the best environment for getting it going (ideally a way where I could remote in too). I'm very accustomed to the RDP workflow where I can actually troubleshoot on a development server and be very close to the real world environment to get things running, then check-in and deploy. I think there are a lot of platform differences with monodevelop so I really really really want to develop on Ubuntu (remotely).

Uwamp - apache not starting with gui but starts fine manually with httpd.exe

Some thing has happened in the last day with Uwamp not starting up Apache, but when I manually go into the httpd.exe folder and run it from a command line apache starts fine and I can access localhost easily. Any thing come to mind? I was playing with clipboard apps yesterday but how could they affect Uwamp starting httpd.exe??
After 2 days, still can't find out what's wrong. Developer is not answering this question. Yes, he knows this question exists.
i have had the same problem, but it looks like it could be down to the mscvr1110.dll issue Visual c++ 2012 runtime, you must install the 32 bit version along side with the 64 bit [if you are running a 64bit windows] and I would personally install the 32 bit first [then the 64bit - if applicable]
the one problem I have noticed is if you are selecting php 7 then it loads httpd.conf rather than the httpd_uwamp.conf, so at the moment I wouldn't select that option.
Let me know if that helps

apache 2.4.7 (easyphp) vs 2.4.9 (wamp) compatibility?

Recently I decided to make some improvements on my sadly abandoned website I've developed using easyphp. I tried to installed the last version of easyphp to be sure being up-to-date. Unfortunately the last version is not quite what I hoped for and decided to uninstall it and switch to wampserver.
My website is not working anymore though and after few analyzing I am sure this is from the version of apache being different or from wamp dealing with the apache options differently from easyphp (2.4.7 -> 2.4.9).
The problem seems to come from the .htaccess file (which worked nicely on easyphp), is one here have faced the same problem when changed from easyphp to wampserver ? or any suggestions where the problem could come from ?
I finally realized the module rewriteEngine was not initialized...

OpenJDK's JDK location

I'm running Minecraft on a headless Linux server with OpenJDK. I've added a bunch too many mods and its lagging (even on my local network) without using too much CPU or memory (e.g. its lagging, but its still got resources it can use). So I'm pretty sure its a mod fault.
To save the hassle of removing/adding mods one by one to see whats causing the error, my research led me to VisualVM where you can profile the java application and see which entities are doing what and with what resources. With any luck it should point out the mod consuming the most resources, and the most ticks.
Given its a headless server, and VisualVM is a window/GUI application, I've successfully managed to get it running and passing the GUI back to my Windows client using X over SSH.
Trouble is now, that its telling me that I need to use JDK and not JRE. Which is fair enough. Except OpenJDK has JDK in its name, rendering all googling futile. I cannot for the life of me, find if JDK is included in OpenJDK, what its named, and where it may be located. The other problem is, most of the troubleshooting guides I find are for Windows, and dont help me find the JDK on linux.
As some background information, I'm running Debian, and I know OpenJDK's JRE is installed here: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre
Can someone tell me please, if JDK is in OpenJDK, or I need to install it as well? If I do need to install it, is there an OpenJDK equivelant for JDK? If its already included, can someone provide some tips on locating it, so I can point VisualVM at it instead of the JRE?
The OpenJDK has a JDK, but there is also a cut down version which is just the JRE. I would use locate javac and if it can't find it, you need to install the JDK.

Does Mono XSP Server Work?

I'm trying for a week to make my XSP server work with simple static content: html-pages, js-files, gifs, jpegs etc... No ASP.NET. And this server always randomly crashes while navigating this pages with browser.
My Environment is: Mono 2.6.1, Windows Vista. I also tried to build XSP on linux (with Novell's make-files) but same result.
So, could XSP be used anyhow? Is there anybody who made XSP work fine without crashes? If yes, please tell me how. If no, is there another open-source ASP.NET http-server?
Try xsp2 not xsp, as it is newer. Also Tomi is right and you should be using mod-mono for production, however, that is not going to work on Windows right now (at least the last thing I read was that mod_mono was not yet working with Apache on Windows). XSP2 definately works on Linux, and although I haven't tried it on Windows, but if there are problems with it you should probably file a bug report with the Mono team. Xsp definately does not work with some of the code I have written, so I think it is only used for Net 1.1 era asp, not asp2.0.
You can use for example Apache with mod_mono or Nginx on Linux. I wouldn't recommend using XSP for production use since it's used mostly as development web server in conjuction with MonoDevelop.
