Breakpoints are completely ignored when debugging CakePHP application

Question

I'm developing in NetBeans a CakePHP application and finally managed to get it connecting to XAMPP debugging sessions (PHP 5.3.1 w/ Xdebug v2.0.6-dev).

It perfectly works when launching, it does pause the application on the first line.

However any further breakpoint I set is completely ignored. It does not break nor pause; it just runs to completion.

xdebug.extended_info is set to 1 and I tried with a barefoot php project without any framework magic and there breakepoints worked as expected.

What the hack? I would like to be able to use breakpoints in (Cake)PHP.

Answer 1

Try to set the webroot correct to the cake-webroot-dir in project-properties

Another thing, take a look here:
