Setup a Typo3 php development IDE with debugger

When i worked on extensions for Typo3 i really missed a good debugger. I tried installing one but it took me quite a while. Thats why i decided to create a mini tutorial for it. Maybe it helps others to speed up the process.

Notice: Don't use this manual to install Typo3 on a production system!

My configuration consists of the following components:

  • Ubuntu desktop 8.04
  • mysql 5.0.51a
  • apache 2.2.8
  • php 5.2.4
  • xdebug 2.0.2
  • eclipse 3.3.2
  • pdt Debug UI 1.0.3.v2008060

Index

Install mysql, apache2, php, pdt and xdebugger in a clean Ubuntu desktop environment
Use the 123 setup wizard to install Typo3
Setup eclipse and pdt to use the xdebug debugger
