远程调试Laravel HomeStead无法正常工作

Question

I have followed step by step instructions at https://medium.com/@skboadu/debugging-laravel-homestead-applications-with-phpstorm-444ccc1ddef2 to set up remote xdebug debugging on Laravel Homestead. Only difference is I have PHP 7.1 but that should not matter.

After setting the breakpoints, enabling "Listening for Debug Connections", and setting breakpoints on the home page I am unable to see anything happen?

My config for both FPM and CLI:

zend_extension = xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.idekey="PHPSTORM"

I also have "PHPSTORM" as the IDE in Xdebug helper and nothing seems to happen. I tried setting up a log on xdebug config but nothing gets recorded.

What am I doing wrong? I followed the instructions step by step.

Answer 1

Check that port 9000 is open on your Host and that your IDE is listening for connections on that port.

You also lack remote_autostart in case you want it to just stop at breakpoints on it's own without you having to start the debugger beforehand.

In my usage i've had to set up a server in PHPStorm and Remote Debugger as well and set up the path mappings between my host and vagrant machines.
