Today I installed/updated my previous php 5.3.x to 5.4.11. Did it accordingly how do I upgrade from php 5.3 to php 5.4.6 in ubuntu?

Install was successful, but it seemed to me, that xdebug was outdated due to a warning message when viewing php -v to check the success of installation.

So I updated pear/pecl, removed previous installation of xdebug
sudo pecl uninstall xdebug

Set php_ini setting in pear/pecl and tried once more to sudo pecl install xdebug. When installation was finishing for some reason it showed me, that php_ini is not pointing to php.ini(when it actually was).

Nevertheless, installation was successful except, that when I tried to add /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so to a file in /etc/php5/mods-available and symlink to that file in /etc/php5/conf.d, after restarting server I got for php -v

sandbox@ubuntu:~$ php -v
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/xdebug.so: undefined symbol: php_body_write in Unknown on line 0
PHP 5.4.11-1~precise+1 (cli) (built: Jan 24 2013 15:22:16)
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies

Does anyone know how to fix it? I really need Xdebug to be on my side)

UPDATE: Forgot to mention, that everything is happening on Ubuntu Server 12.04, that is located on VirtualBox under Windows host system.

UPDATE 1: I was suggested to move 20090626+lfs directory elsewhere, since it might shadow the newer version, but no. After moving it away I tried to reinstall xdebug( sudo pecl uninstall xdebug & sudo pecl install xdebug ), but for somereason it was installed to same place. When viewing pecl config I see

PHP extension directory        ext_dir          /usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs

, but during installation of xdebug it prints out following

checking for PHP extension directory... /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs

in my case php5-dev was already installed and i got the unable to load... message, too. Uninstalling xdebug did the trick for me:

sudo pecl uninstall xdebug

and then

sudo pecl install xdebug

the install directory changed now and i needed to modify my /etc/php5/mods-available/xdebug.ini to point to the new xdebug.so

php5-dev needed to be installed.

sudo apt-get install php5-dev

Include the follow lines in the php.ini file.

[xdebug]
zend_extension=xdebug.so

Edit the file /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini

xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000

In the follow URL http://icdif.com/computing/2011/05/01/xdebug-ubuntu/ you get the simple tutorial to setup the xdebug but do not forget to run the command:

sudo pecl install xdebug (this commando

restart the apache

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

and perfert!

Works like a charme!
