I am running Eclipse 3.2.2 with EPIC 0.6.13.  I am unable to start a debug
session even with a fresh load of Eclipse.

I turned the logging on so here are the results.

From the web server log:

I get processes spawned on ports 5001, 5003, and 5003 also but they go away
when I close the error dialog.

Can you help me et a debug session going?

1) Is there a file C:\data\metadot\index.pl on your disk?
2) Did you use backslashes anywhere in setting up the launch configuration?
(If so, try using slashes.)

The module epic_breakpoints.pm invokes the function Cwd::abs_path to determine
an absolute path of a file. For some strange reason, this function attempts
to change directory to "C:\data\metadot\index.pl" in your case, which obviously
fails. It would be useful to know what argument abs_path is invoked with
in case of failure. To find out, you could edit C:/Documents and Settings/Jeff/My
Documents/Business/Affinity
Portals/portal/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/epic_breakpoints.pm and
insert some debugging output before line 76. Something like:

open(FL, '>>c:/temp.txt');
print FL "calling abs_path with $path\n";
close(FL);

This should provide (among others) the path which makes abs_path fail. You
could then examine it further, e.g. create a little script which calls abs_path
with just this argument and observe what happens.

Note: I'm not 100% sure if epic_breakpoints.pm is or is not overwritten
each time you start a debug session. If it is overwritten, causing your
change to become lost, then you'd have to change the version of epic_breakpoints.pm
which is zipped in the org.epic.debug plugin JAR (unzip, edit, zip again).
Or you could set up a hosted workbench as explained in the EPIC devguide
and edit version of epic_breakpoints.pm in the host workbench

The file C:\data\metadot\index.pl does exist on my disk.

I did use backslashes for the HTML Root Directory, HTML Startup File, and
CGI Root Directory entries in the Run/Debug configuration.  I will change
those to slashes and let you know the results.  

It may take a few days due to the holiday weekend in the US but I will report
the results.
