I want to setup phpunit on a demo site on a bluehost shared server. I want to check if the php codes work on the environment after I made modifications and added more components. With this, I need to set up xdebug. The problem is that my account is not allowed to download and install xdebug, I got permission denied.
pecl install xdebug
Then I read upon an answer here Xdebug for remote server not connecting. What I did is upload the xdebug.so file from my local, copy the /etc/php.ini to the server's public_html directory, and edited the php.ini file and and added the line below to refer to the xdebug.so file on the server.
zend_extension=/home1/user/public_html/xdebug.so
But after what I did, the phpinfo state that the xdebug is not enabled. Bluehost does not require to restart the apache. So it will refresh itself as I understand it. And the phpinfo state that the loaded ini file is the one on my public_html directory now. Is this possible to enable xdebug this way? Are there other ways to install/enable on bluehost shared server?
