===Enable template debugging===
 +
 +
I happened to stumble over this in the templates.pm file
 +
 +
config set processtemplate Debug yes
 +
 +
This will add some debugging lines to /var/log/messages showing you the progress of the template expansion.
 +
 +
To disable either set the key to no or delete it.
 +
 +
===Builtin Db routines===
 +
 +
You can also use a couple of routines from db.pm
 +
 +
=item B<db_print>
 +
  db_print(\%config);
 +
  db_print(\%config, $key);
 +
Prints out keys and raw values in the %config database.  If $key is
 +
given it prints the $key and its raw value.  If no $key is given it
 +
prints out all the keys and their raw values.
 +
 +
=item B<db_show>
 +
  db_show(\%config);
 +
  db_show(\%config, $key);
 +
Prints out keys and their values in a human readable format.
 +
If $key is given it prints out the $key, type and properties of that
 +
$key.  Otherwise it prints out the key, type and properties for all
 +
keys.
 +
 +
=item B<db_print_type>
 +
  db_print_type(\%config);
 +
  db_print_type(\%config, $key);
 +
Prints out keys and their types in the %config database.
 +
If $key is given, it prints out just that $key and its type.
 +
Otherwise it prints out all the keys and their types.
 +
 +
=item B<db_print_prop>
 +
  db_print_prop(\%config, $key);
 +
  db_print_prop(\%config, $key, $property);
 +
Prints out the properties (or a single $property) of the given $key in
 +
the %config.

The simplest mode to use with Komodo IDE is to just use the IDE as a debugger to step through code. Code on the remote server can be edited if you have sufficient permissions.

If required you can also add a user identifier:

export DBGP_IDEKEY=jdoe

You would need a custom httpd.conf frgament with the following (I am not going to go into the full how to here)
+
You would need a custom httpd.conf fragment. I used 46PerlDebug with these options (configure to suit)
 +
 
 +
SetEnv PERL5LIB "/opt/dbgp/perllib:$PERL5LIB"
 +
SetEnv PERLDB_OPTS "RemotePort=192.168.x.x async=1"
 +
SetEnv DBGP_IDEKEY "user"
   −
SetEnv PERL5LIB "/opt/dbgp/perllib"
+
You should now be able access your cgi-script and debug accordingly.
SetEnv PERLDB_OPTS "RemotePort=<hostname>:<port>"
  −
SetEnv DBGP_IDEKEY "<ide_key>"
     −
You should now be able access your cgi-script - e.g. server-manager and debug accordingly.
+
However, having tried it you cannot use this on server-manager panels because perl is setuid.
    +
It could be used in other scenarios, but not server-manager.

    +
====PHP remote debugging====
 +
 +
You can debug on your local workstation but it is extremely useful to be able to debug direct on the server environment.
 +
You may have one PHP version installed on your desktop but be running a different one on the server, and you may have a different server setup.
 +
 +
First you need to install the xdebug packages eg:
 +
 +
yum install php74-php-pecl-xdebug
 +
yum install php80-php-pecl-xdebug
 +
 +
Next you need a small template fragment to enable remote debugging:
 +
 +
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
 +
nano /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/90XdebugSettings
 +
 +
Add this:
 +
 +
[Debugger]
 +
; /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
 +
xdebug.remote_enable                  = true
 +
xdebug.remote_host                    = 127.0.0.1
 +
xdebug.remote_port                    = 9000
 +
xdebug.remote_handler                  = dbgp
 +
xdebug.remote_log                      = /var/log/xdebug.log
 +
xdebug.remote_mode                    = req
 +
xdebug.max_nesting_level              = 5000
 +
 +
Expand templates and restart services:
 +
 +
signal-event webapps-update
 +
 +
We should see Xdebug here
 +
 +
php74 -v
 +
PHP 7.4.28 (cli) (built: Feb 15 2022 13:23:10) ( NTS )
 +

 +
    with Xdebug v2.9.8, Copyright (c) 2002-2020, by Derick Rethans
 +
 +
====Komodo IDE====
 +
 +
We can obtain the debug proxy from the installation, and move it to the server and then execute from there:
 +
 +
python /root/dbgp/bin/pydbgpproxy -d 127.0.0.1:9000 -i 192.168.10.1:9003
 +
 +
Or alternatively grab the lastest xdebug client here:
 +
 +
mkdir /root/xdbg-proxy
 +
cd /root/xdbg-proxy
 +
curl https://xdebug.org/files/binaries/dbgpProxy -o dbgpProxy
 +
chmod 0700 dbgpProxy
 +
./dbgpProxy -s 127.0.0.1:9000 -i 192.168.10.1:9003
 +
 +
In Komodo Go to Preferences, Debugger, Connections
 +
 +
Komodo should listen on:
 +
System provide port
 +
 +
Check 'I am running a debugger proxy'
 +
Listener address: IP.of.your.server:9003
 +
Proxy key: individual key name for this desktop
 +
 +
Save and check that it connected to the debugger.
 +
 +
Now to debug a file:
 +
 +
https://your.server.ip/index.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=mydesktopkey
 +
 +
Or
 +
 +
https://your.server.ip/index.php?somevalue=3&XDEBUG_SESSION_START=mydesktopkey
 +
 +
====Visual Studio/VS Codium====
 +
 +
Sample launch.json
 +
 +
Note for newer versions of Xdebug the default port is now 9003
 +
Pay careful attention to the path mapping,. This has to be absolutely correct or it will not work.

 +
    "version": "0.2.0",
 +
    "configurations": [
 +
        {
 +
            "name"        : "vscphpdebug",
 +
            "type"        : "php",
 +
            "request"    : "launch",
 +
            "stopOnEntry" : false,
 +
            "proxy": {
 +
            "enable" : true,
 +
            "host" : "my.server.ip",
 +
            "key" : "mycodiumkey",
 +
            "port": 9003,
 +
            "allowMultipleSessions" : true
 +
            },
 +
            "pathMappings": {
 +
            "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/testbay/html/phptestcode": "${workspaceFolder}"
 +
            },
 +
        },
 +
    ]
 +
}
 +
 +
Now you can run start the PHP debugger in Codium so it connects the to the debug server, and then trigger it with a URL like this:
 +
 +
https://my.SME.Server/testbay/phptestcode/myTestPhpFile.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=mycodiumkey
 +
 +
===Editors and IDEs===
 +
 +
Some Open Source Editors/IDEs
 +
 +
These all allow remote debugging.
 +
 +
Komodo-IDE https://www.activestate.com/products/komodo-ide
 +
 +
Komodo Debug tools: https://code.activestate.com/komodo/remotedebugging/
 +
 +
Eclipse https://www.eclipse.org/
 +
 +
Netbeans https://netbeans.org/
 +
 +
Codium https://itsfoss.com/vscodium/ - Use PHP Debug - felixfbecker.php-debug
 +
<br>
 +
For Codium I can't see a remote Perl debugger as yet.
