linux mint 17 connamon
 

I have spent hours and hours trying to install xdebug with xampp and netbeans. I previusly used this combination on windows but since moving to linux mint 3 weeks ago I have completley drawn a blank. I have followed so many solutions, prefixing each with a clean install of xampp. I have tried the xdebug wizard doezens of times and followed the instructions. No matter what I do phpinfo shows xdebug not loaded. Is there anyone there who can help?

All I can say is to try another distro. Maybe it has to do with how the debs were built. Try openSuSE or Manjaro.

Without more information (which tutorial/instructions, did you start from scratch after each attempt or did you mangle cruft over cruft, ... )
no one will be able to give you any constructive answers.

The suggestion above to try Suse or some other distro is naive, if not silly. Installing XAMMP will *always*,
on any distro, install its own versions of things, no matter what packaging you're using.

One thing you might consider is to try and integrate netbeans with the apache, mysql, php that the OS can provide
out of the box, rather than adding XAMMP.
