• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Question Can't use XDebug in newest plesk?

I'm trying to profile a site to track a memory leak. It's only profiling php-cli. I can't get it to run.
I'm using the 'Additional directives' box. I've got plesk-php84-xdebug installed (/opt/plesk/php/8.4/lib/php/modules/xdebug.so exists). I know it can work, because it works for background tasks.

PHP is set to be served as 'FPM application served by nginx', using plesk's repository's php-8.4 version.

If I remove the ' start_with_request' thing and refresh the page a bunch, I do get a bunch of profiles... but those are from background tasks. It never profiles the html page.
If I uncomment the start_with_request lines (and add ?XDEBUG_TRIGGER=profileMe to the GET params), then I don't get any profiles at all (because I'm filtering those background tasks out to get past the noise).

How do I get it to load the extension not just when running some background thing (wp_cli) but also when a I send a request from my browser with the correct GET/POST/COOKIE to enable profiling?

The below doesn't work.

Code:
zend_extension=/opt/plesk/php/8.4/lib/php/modules/xdebug.so
xdebug.output_dir=/var/www/vhosts/system/mysite.com/profiles
xdebug.mode=profile
xdebug.start_with_request=trigger
xdebug.trigger_value=profileMe
 
I tried other directories as well, making (and chown'ing) a directory named /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/profiles also does not work with profiling via browser request.
