如何在PHPDesigner 8上启动Xdebug服务器

Question

I'm using XAMPP to run a PHP application in Windows 8, using PHP v5.5.6

I've downloaded the php_xdebug*.dll and placed it in C:\\xampp\\php\\ext\\

I've configured the [XDebug] section in C:\\xampp\\php\\php.ini like this:

[XDebug]
zend_extension=C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.7-5.5-vc11.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=true
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir="C:\ProgramData\phpDesigner\XDebugCache"

I've also configured the Prefferences->Debugger to use the C:\\xampp\\php\\php-cgi.exe and the C:\\xampp\\php\\php.ini

But still I can not debug my code. When I click on the "Debug" button, nothing happens. If i go to Debug->Xdebug Server->Start, nothing happens.

What am I missing? Thanks.

Suppose that you have installed correctly you should go to Run -> Click Start listening for PHP connections ( or something like that ).

Now phpstorm is listening for connection. Go back to you browser and hit refresh. If everything was configured as it should ( btw have a look in preferences in phpstorm for xdebug, port and all others ) phpstorm should be able to catch the connection and give you the opportunity to step into lines ( F7, F8 )
