I'm on Windows and I'm trying to debug a Web application (hosted with Vagrant/Homestead) using PhpStorm through XDebug. I tried many configurations but I can't get things working. The PhpStorm XDebug setup is pretty common.
This is the current xdebug configuration:
vagrant@homestead: /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.remote_connect_back = on
xdebug.idekey='PHPSTORM'
In the IDE "Start listening for PHP debug connections" it's turned on. When I attempt to start debugging a new chrome tab opens and the URL ends, for example, with ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=16588
but the debugger doesn't run and this is what the IDE says:
Also, netstat says the port 9000 is still listening. Any idea?
You are changing the 20-xdebug.ini file for the Command Line Interface (CLI). Instead you need to change the /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
for the Apache settings, since you are using Chrome.
UPDATE
I'm not sure of the differences between Apache and Nginx (which may be /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
), but here is how I got it working with a VirtualBox VM running Apache, on a Windows computer.
Settings for 20-xdebug.ini:
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.1... (your windows IP address within your network)
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.autostart=1
