I am trying to use Zend Studio 5.5.1 running on Vista and connected remotely to a Ubuntu/Apache2 server running Zend_Debugger to debug a PHP Zend Framework MVC application. The Ubuntu server is on a separate machine on my home network. I can run the debugger on a simple test php script and it will run successfully. The trouble begins when attempting to set a breakpoint in one of the files other than index.php in the ZF app.

I may just be missing something that is obvious to someone more experienced with these tools. I get “/dummy.php/index/add” in the Debug Output window after clicking on a link created in the Debug Output window from the initial running of the debugged script. The debug session ends at that point.

Is it possible to debug a remote ZF app using Zend Studio?
