Alias "ext.yii-debug-toolbar.YiiDebugToolbarRoute" is invalid. Make sure it points to an existing PHP file and the file is readable.

I'm now to yii, and was very interested to your toolbar, but have the above error after activating.

The document (if I understand correctly) states to extract the tool into protected/extensions, i.e protected/extensions/yii-debug-toolbar/YiiDebugToolbarRoute.php exists as a path

I put the following in main.php:
'routes'=>array(
array(
'class'=>'ext.yii-debug-toolbar.YiiDebugToolbarRoute',

is "extensions" the right place to put it? Why is "ext." above?

thanks in advance

If you checkout extension from GitHub, try to change path to
'class'=>'ext.yii-debug-toolbar.yii-debug-toolbar.YiiDebugToolbarRoute'

Extensions is a right place, ext. is alias for this folder.

So I didn't know about aliases, thanks for the link.

Now it works, Thanks!

FYI:
Yes, I pulled the extension from github. The tar.gz file was extracted gave a sub folder "malyshev-yii-debug-toolbar-0ff45a6". Within that folder there was a yii-debug-toolbar, which was moved to protected/extensions

~/yii/testdrive/protected$ ls -al ext/yii-debug-toolbar
total 60

-rwxrwxr-x 1 boran boran 7263 2012-09-24 11:30 YiiDebugToolbarRoute.php

-rwxrwxr-x 1 boran boran 1377 2012-09-24 11:30 YiiDebug.php

And in main.php:
'class'=>'ext.yii-debug-toolbar.YiiDebugToolbarRoute',

Yes this extension should not create an additonal directory. The problem is for example if you add the debug toolbar as submodule then you get one folder ext/yii-debug-toolbar, and within that folder is the content of this git repository, which means another folder => ext/yii-debug-toolbar/yii-debug-toolbar...
