Question: 

I am using a Windows Vista x64 system, and get an error when trying to configure PHP for debugging. Is there are fix for this?

Answer: 

This problem is because Komodo is installed to the path

C:\Program Files (x86)\

on Windows Vista x64, and php.ini will not allow paths with parnthese characters in it. There are two possible workarounds:

1. Run the debugger configuration wizard and specify that Komodo's php.ini and php_xdebug.dll should both be placed on a safe path, preferably something like:

C:\php5.2\xdebug\

2. optionally reinstall Komodo to C:\Program Files\ instead.
