Xdebug on Vagrant Scotchbox running PHP 7.2 - Config - php

Question

Not a question, but wanted to share with you the config i've used to get xDebug working on Vagrant using Scotchbox with PHP 7.2.
I had issues getting xDebug working with scotchbox and found many pother articles providing suggested configuration but none worked for me.
This was my process:
vagrant ssh
sudo pecl install xdebug. if errors read the advice given.
it says to add ../xdebug.so" to php.ini. copy this line, ie:
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20170718/xdebug.so
sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini
scroll to bottom > paste:
[XDebug]
sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1
xdebug.remote_host = 192.168.33.0
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.remote_log = /var/log/xdebug.log
restart apache: sudo service apache2 restart or if using https you will need
sudo a2enmod ssl;sudo service apache2 restart
in visual studio Code > xDebug config was DEFAULT:

I hope this helps somebody as took me hours to work out :)
