Setup:
Virtual Box on OSX running Ubuntu Server 17.
Opening a project on Netbeans on one of these shares is fine and the files editable, however as soon as I click on a different window on OSX (so losing focus from the Netbeans window) and return to Netbeans the file is instantly uneditable, however the share is still traversable on the OSX filesystem. Its as if it suddenly becomes read only (though unchange and still is rwxrwxrwx as shown on from an SSH window into the virtual box (!00% reliable).
PHPStorm handles this situation perfectly.
The only caveat here is that if there are a few shares on the VBox its necessary to write a bash script to unmount/remount them in turn but its not that complex, otherwise PHPStorm does nothing when attempting to open local project.

I have trying to get this done for days...and reading through about 20 tutorials, documents, etc...but still no luck.
Here is the thing. I installed wordpress(just for example, can be any php program) on my VPS, and hoping to debug it from my macbook and my desktop. This is clearly a remote debugging thing. So I here is what I done:
1.Installed right version of xdebug and located its .so file on VPS.
2.Changing php.ini and 20-xdebug.ini file on VPS, my settings currently are:
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20131226/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.remote_port=9200
xdebug.show_local_vars=0
xdebug.var_display_max_data=10000
xdebug.var_display_max_depth=20
xdebug.show_exception_trace=0
xdebug.remote_log=/var/log/xdebug.log
;xdebug.remote_host=202.84.93.66
The last line, which is comment out is my desktop IP address, where I run phpStorm. Based on xdebug's documents, if you set remote_connect_back=1, you won't need this host ip to be specifici.
On phpStorm Side, I "start new project from existing code, and specificy the source root on VPS, map it with one of my local dest. PhpStorm just downloaded all the files and after setting up "Automatic upload", the sync is perfect.
On phpStorm side, I specificy the PHP intercepter as the remote one on my VPS.
On phpStorm side, I changed my debugging port to 9200, as same as the one I using on VPS.
Using the booklet method phpStorm provide, I put them on my firefox bootkmarklet.
Click listen button on phpStorm, set breakpoint, go to firefox open the page, click 'start debuging', refresh.....BUT NOTHING HAPPENS!
I also tried to using the tranditional methods, which set a run configration way as both php-webapplication or php-remote-debug...but still not working.
At php storm, the web debug validation, I could pass all the testing there though....
Can anyone help me with this? I think I must be doing wrong on some very fundation part since I saw all the tutorial are so simple set, but this already took me about 3 days to figure out....
Thanks!
I had installed phpstorm editor first time to work in cake php editor in my local system (wamp)
After doing lots of research i had done basic configuration and installed phpunit.phar also selected it in an option in Editor but still its showing class not found error if i try to run it.
Though its working fine if I run it directly in my browser by typing url (local host)
I installed a plugin for NB 7.0.1 which enabled CodeIgniter but when I went to create a project using it, I was told I need to specify a PHP interpreter for Netbeans. I tried to do this using the php.exe you get with Xampp but I get a Java null pointer error. I can't seem to fix this but I'm thinking, why do I need an interpreter on Windows when the Linux machine can do that? I have already set this up on the VM.
Any advice from here? Thanks a lot!
I am using NB 7.1.1 and had similar issue with CodeIgniter plugin when creating a new project. NetBeans would complain No PHP Interpreter was defined in Tools->Options->PHP General. It would not enable finish button so a New Project could not be setup.
I just created a dummy batch file called nb_cli.bat and pointed NB to that for the PHP interpreter. I don't plan on executing (or debugging) CodeIgniter CLI code on local machine so that file will likely never get executed.
If you want to debug or run php locally, make sure xammp works OK outside of NetBeans. But if not, this fix should get you by the NetBeans issues.
I have a separate linux server on my local network for development as I don't need apache/php locally when I use multiple machines for dev/testing/etc.
NetBeans should bugfix that by downing that PHP Interpreter message from an Alert preventing project setup to a warning that No PHP interpreter is defined (or found) so CLI testing may not function.
As an alternative, if you have a linux box with NB installed, you can create the New project there and copy the whole folder (including the nbproject folder) to your PC and you should be able to get by having No PHP Interpreter defined.
Hopefully that gets you going with NB and CodeIgniter. If you need additional details, just ask.
I'm a real klutz when it comes to Eclipse, but I'm also poor, which is why it is the option I've chosen.
I've installed Eclipse 3.5, Eclipse for PHP, and RSE. I've actually gotten to a point where I can create a new (local) project and download all files to my local (Windows) computer. I'm not running any kind of web server on my local box, and am hoping to keep it that way for now.
I've imported my remote folder into my local project, where I can see all my PHP files and edit them. But of course, when I save, it just saves the local copy. Is there no "put" command? Can I not save straight to the server? Or perform an immediate sync of that one file? I certainly wouldn't want to have to perform a complex sync operation after every little incremental change.
I have no idea what RSE really is, nor how it works, and the documentation is, well, cloaked at best, non-existent at worst. Does anyone have some tips for me? What should my workflow be (barring any local server to test)?
Ideally, I would love to be able to open up the entire "project" directly from its location on the remote server and avoid dealing with a "local" copy altogether. Failing that, I would be willing to "get" the entire remote site once, and then manually "put" individual files that I change locally back, provided it's not a cumbersome process. Am I asking too much? Dreamweaver operates this way, but it's support for PHP is limited at best and can't be considered a full-fledged IDE...
I use WinSCP and enable remote synchronization.
Everything that changes on the local system is automatically synchronized trough SCP/FTP onto the server.
Looks like RSE might be overkill for your needs. Here's a similar question and popular answer to your problem of uploading from Eclipse:
How do I add FTP support to Eclipse?
Secondly, you could try out a version control system like SVN - it would take a little bit of time and work to set it up but probably be far more useful than getting RSE going and then you could develop locally, commit your changes to the server and then update the workspace on the server.
Thirdly, there are other IDEs out there, like Netbeans, with built in support for working on remote files.
Sorry to drag up an old topic but Remote System Explorer is exactly what you need. No need for sFTP or a Shell. Setup the connection in the RSE perspective just like you normally would using your sFTP/SSH client.
Open the folder for the first time and you get the login dialog. Enter your credentials. Store them as needed.
Now navigate to your development files and double click or right click to open the file. Eclipse caches a local copy till you save, Ctrl-S.
Need to do some shell work. Right click on a folder and Launch a Terminal. If your files are source controlled, such as svn, you can checkout or update from the terminal.
I use to have Putty, FileZilla and a host of other editors and utilities. Now I never leave Eclipse. SQL, Shell, sFTP, PHP, CSS/HTML, C/C++, Droid, all within Eclipse.
I tackled the same problem recently. I got a web site hosting company and was using SeaMonkey and developing the code on the 'production server' and learned to do development on a 'development server' and then upload the debugged, working stuff to the production server.
So I use Xampp (it's a good, and FREE, local web server you can easily install on your laptop) and I use NetBeans to develop. Netbeans is better than Microsoft tools -- no ballmer involved in the deal.
xampp uses Apache as the (local) web server and provides Mysql and PHP server-side-scripting support.
The quality of these two is HIGH. Just excellent stuff. You will want to get a local web server running on your laptop, do your development locally, then upload using ftp or the Netbeans environment, the files to your 'production web server.'
I messed around with a lot of different unrelated pieces trying to put a local web server, debugger, mysql database together and then got really lucky and found xampp and then NetBeans.
I think #Łukasz's note deserves to be an answer on this page - it would have saved me a great deal of time, so hopefully it will do the same for others:
Here is great tutorial for Eclipse: How to setup Eclipse with PHP PDT, Remote System Explorer, Theme Manager, and Drupal Plugins Eclipse + PDT + Remote System Explorer allows you to develop PHP applications remotely.
I will add that downloading and using the smaller Eclipse for PHP Developers and thus skipping step 2 on the blog works just fine.
I have my 1and1 hosted web site. I've got server-side php I need to debug.
All I've found mentions running/installing xdebug when you have a local web server
with php and mysql on a local web server.
However, I'm using the remote web server hosted at 1and1 hosting.
I'm using and loving netbeans, wow great IDE.
Anyways, how (if it's even possible) can I install then use the xdebug
debugger to debug my php code running at 1and1 from within Netbeans?
I'm wondering if it is my hosting company (1and1) that has to have xdebug installed.
I'm running the latest version of Netbeans but when I press the debug button on
the toolbar I see an error message popup that says
"There is no connection from xdebug detected within 40 seconds. The reasons could be that xdebug is neither installed nor properly configured. Be sure that your php.ini file contains these entries:
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost (or hostname)
xdebug.remote_port=9000
So I searched my harddisk, and despite having installed the full Netbeans
IDE, I have no php.ini file.
So can I make xdebug work remotely, ie. can I debug my php code as it runs on the
remote 1and1 web server, using Netbeans and xdebug?
I've only been using Netbeans for 2 days and for all I know, xdebug is not even a part
of Netbeans. Reason I say that is, I can 'run' my php remotely just fine -- it executes on the remote 1and1 web server when I push 'run' inside Netbeans -- and then the client side output on my local machine is correct. But I cannot step into the code with xdebug by pressing the 'Debug' button on the Netbeans toolbar -- is it possible xdebug did not get installed correctly with Netbeans?
xdebug should be installed inside the php folder and of course the php folder is located on the server where php is installed... at your hosting provider.
I would not expect an hosting provider to install xDebug as it seems to me it would be a huge security hole.
xDebug is not part of Netbeans and it is not part of PHP by default.
Now, looking at things on a more positive viewpoint, if you are going to develop PHP, you NEED a local server. It's very unprofessional to develop code directly on the live server.
Grab a copy of xampp and install it on your computer. Grab a copy of xdebug and install it following the instructions. Restart Apache. There, now you have a testing server.
Once you have a complete set-up on your computer, copy your PHP application's folder inside the "htdoc" folder.
NOW, and only now, should you consider developing in PHP. Develop locally, on your own testing server, xdebug will work whenever you start a debugging session from inside Netbeans.
When everything works, upload your files on your hosted space.
