PhpStorm-使用xDebug进行远程调试

Question

OK, first things first. I started working on a new PHP project which, as in many cases, to put it mildly, built terribly. It is not possible, at this point, to copy the project to a local machine so I forced to work via FTP.

I would like to set up remote debugging, so the code will run remotely but I will be able to debug it locally.

The server is Amazon Linux, Apache, PHP 5.3.29 with xDebug v2.2.3.

php.ini:

zend_extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000

I am trying to make in happen, according to many tutorials from the web, but it seems I am doing something wrong.

Somebody knows a working step-by-step configuration so I can set this up and forget?

If you want your IDE to connect to xDebug you need to set the remote host to the IP where your IDE runs.

Other option would be xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
