Xdebug only writes to /tmp

Question

I've installed Xdebug on Centos 6.2. It writes cachgrind files to /tmp just fine, But I want it to write to /tmp/xdebug instead.

I've added this to my php.ini:

xdebug.profiler_output_dir = /tmp/xdebug

and changed the owner of the folder to apache:apache and chmode it to 777.

But, it is not writing any files. When I configure it back to:

xdebug.profiler_output_dir = /tmp

It does write files. How can it be fixed ? thanks.

Answer 1

If I recall from my other reading correctly, the folder on CentOS for xdebug output needs to be owned by the "nobody" account, not apache.
