The background: Hi, I've been tasked with installing XAMPP in a computer lab to facilitate a PHP development class. We've been asked to use version 1.7.2 with the default installation in the executable. Afterward we have been instructed to configure it by editing the php.ini file to enable 'zend_extension="C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"' by uncommenting the line. We are also instructed to enable remote debugging by changing/uncommenting the line 'xdebug.remote_enable=1'. These are the only two deviations from the default setup. We test the XDebug functionality by checking its presence in the phpinfo() functionality. We also test it by starting a debugging session inside Netbeans.
The problem: It seems XDebug works sporadically when starting debugging sessions. It works sometimes and then it doesn't. When we first installed XAMPP it didn't crash, but in the 24 hours since installation, XDebug has begun to crash the Apache engine when accessing http://localhost from the web browser. The following information is provided in the crash:
