I have installed Eclipse PDT and configured with the Zend Debugger on Mac OSX Leopard/MAMP.

I can debug index.php fine and can step through the code and set breakpoints when debugging index.php.

But I cannot debug any lines from a module. These are the steps I am taking.

1. I imported my drupal project into my workspace.
2. I setup a debug configuration for "PHP Web Page". I select Zend Debugger, Default PHP Server, and then in File I select /drupal/index.php
3. In the PHP perspective, I set a breakpoint on a module (I chose About This Node module) on line 57.
4. I right click on index.php and select Debug As PHP Webpage

So navigating thru the admin menu, every page request generates a new Debug session that shows terminated (I think this means that the page request was handled). However, when I try to navigate to the appropriate node, the debug session is not stopping on any breakpoints.

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could be getting into problems with drupal's extensive use of output buffering. This would potentially give Zend Debugger the run around.

I found an extensive discussion about this particular issue and how to resolve it here: http://drupal.org/node/157609#comment-262253

Good luck!
