How to fix "incompatible debugger version" error in eclipse PHP?

Bug:
when you are using PHP perspective in Eclipse IDE, you will often see a error popup alert. The popup alert will keep coming up for every 30 seconds or so. This is a known bug in Eclipse PDT and you can find more information on this link: "Incompatible debugger version" when not debugging 

Incompatible Debugger version error alert


Fix:
 As this bug gets fix sometime sooner in future, you would want that annoying popup to go away. Well there is a way to stop that alert from popping up. 
Change the debug ports in "Eclipse -> Preferences -> PHP -> Debug -> Installed Debuggers", with these values:
Zend Debugger (40000)
XDebug (29000)

This is how I fixed the annoying popup for Incompatible debugger Version
