[SOLVED] Netbeans svn error “Duplicate extensions not allowed, OPTIONS request failed on ‘path'”

I have installed sun-java-jre/jdk on my Ubuntu and Fedora. I am using svn for my project and have been running it well with my old Fedora 15 installation on my old PC. However, recently I installed Fedora on my other machine and installed Netbeans 7.0.1 on top of sun-java. Fedora did not handle graphics very well, so I installed Ubuntu alongside as well. But every time I tried to access subversion functionality from Netbeans, I got the following error:

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: java.io.IOException: Duplicate extensions not allowed
OPTIONS request failed on ‘/relative/path/to/some/project/directory’

This happened in both of my newer installations, Fedora 15 and Ubuntu 11.04, both with Netbeans 7.0.1. I tried several things but all in vain. Finally, when searching for installed Java related packages in my old machine (where subversion always worked), I found the required package. The cryptic error message will simply stop appearing and Netbeans subversion will start working after the installation of svn client adapter for Netbeans. Here is how you can do it from the terminal:

For Fedora:

su -c 'yum install netbeans-svnclientadapter'

For Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libnb-svnclientadapter-java

Hope this helps.

[HOWTO] Setup step debugging PHP in Netbeans on Windows with XAMPP

I am using Netbeans 6.9.1 on Windows 7 with XAMPP 1.7.4 installed. I wanted to enable step debugging for PHP like I do in my PC with Fedora (see here for Netbeans PHP step debugging for Fedora). To do that, I had to follow the following steps:

Edit the php.ini file (xampp\php\php.ini) in a text editor to uncomment (remove leading semicolon 😉 the following lines:

zend_extension = "D:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "localhost"
xdebug.remote_port = 9000

Also, search for the line containing “xdebug.remote_enable” and change it to:

xdebug.remote_enable = On

Then restart apache service.

Now, open the file Program Files\NetBeans 6.9.1\etc\netbeans.conf and find the line containing “netbeans_default_options”. Add the text “-J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.php.dbgp.level=400” at the end of the line so that it looks like the following:

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.php.dbgp.level=400"

Now, restart Netbeans and select Debug>Debug Project. However, I have experienced it is very slow on Windows compared to the installation on Fedora.

Hope this helps.

[SOLVED] Selenium server not working in Netbeans 6.9.1

I am using Fedora Core 14 and have installed Selenium Module for PHP. I was not able to run PHPUnit tests on Yii Framework. I tried running Selenium server 1.0.1 and upgrade to 1.0.3 solved the problem.

I downloaded the Selenium Remote Control from here and extract the file selenium-server.jar, renamed it to selenium-server-1.0.1.jar and placed it in /home/myusername/.netbeans/6.9/modules/ext/selenium overwriting the old jar. Then I restarted Netbeans. Now, testing works.

Hope this helps.

[HOWTO] Install Selenium Module for PHP in Netbeans 7.0 beta

If you are using Netbeans 7.0 beta, the plugin list may not show Selenium Module for PHP. To install it, navigate to Tools>Plugins>Settings and click on Add. Then, in the name field, enter something like “Netbeans 6.9 beta” and in the URL field, enter the following URL:

http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/6.9/uc/final/beta/catalog.xml.gz

Now, reload the cataloge and you should be able to install Selenium Module for PHP.

Happy developing.

[HOWTO] Configure Netbeans 6.9 to debug PHP files using xdebug in Fedora 14

I am using Netbeans 6.9 on Fedora 14 for Web development. I have enabled PHP debugging for making PHP development easier. Here is how you can do it too.

Install and enable xdebug

Use yum to install php-pecl-xdebug:

sudo yum install php-pecl-xdebug

Now, open the file /etc/php.d/xdebug.ini in a text editor as root. I use nano:

sudo nano /etc/php.d/xdebug.ini

Now , make sure the following options are set enabled in ini:

; Enable xdebug extension module
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/modules/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000

Allow port for xdebug

sudo semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 9000

Restart Apache:

sudo service httpd restart

Configure Netbeans to use PHP debugger

Now, open up the file /usr/share/netbeans/6.9/etc/netbeans.conf in a text editor and add the text “-J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.php.dbgp.level=400” in netbeans_default_options so that the line looks somewhat like this:

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.php.dbgp.level=400"

Restart netbeans and given that you have configured the project directories properly, you should be able to click on the debug button and start debugging PHP file.
