Xdebug on remote server and PhpStorm
Installed xdebug on remote server with this configuration:
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.1.200
xdebug.remote_port=9001
xdebug.remote_autostart=0
xdebug.profiler_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = off
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%pSo my "client" ip is 192.168.1.200 and just changed the port number from 9000 to 9001.
Setup of PhpStorm
Tools->DBGp Proxy-> Configuration
IDE key: YOU_CHOOSE
HOST: IP or HOST of remote server
PORT: 9001 the one we set in the remote server configuration
In File -> Settings -> PHP -> Debug
Uncheck :
Force break at the first line when no path mapping specified.
Force break at the first line when a script is outside the project.
And for the debug configuration of the project.
Run -> Edit Configuration
Add a "PHP Web Application" configuration.
Select server, if no server is in the list create one with this configuration:
Host -> server ip or domain
port : 90
Debugger: Xdebug
Also i like to check on the right top corner the "Single instance only", just not to have manually kill the debug session.
And the important part, enable the "Use path mappings ".
For each local path put a absolute remote path. Its for the debugger to know what files is the request hitting.
Starting the debugging sessions. There are two ways i found.
One is directly from
Run -> Debug "YOUR DEBUG CONFIGURATION NAME"
The other one is using a plugin for chrome or firefox to init the debugging and just attach the debugger from:
Run -> Start Listening for PHP Debug Connections
Chrome plugin: Xdebug Helper
Firefox plugin: he Easiest Xdebug
