I can't get my PhpStorm IDE to work with xdebug.
My current setup is the following:
PhpStorm 2017.1.4
MacOS Sierra 10.12.5
Here are the steps that I followed.
I have installed php with the following command. I have added the postgres parameter because I need it later to connect to a PostgreSQL database.
brew install php71 --with-postgresql
The next step is to install XDebug with the following command
brew install php71-xdebug
So the next step that I got from the documentation (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/configuring-xdebug.html) is to edit the php.ini file with the following content:
[Xdebug]
zend_extension="<path to php_xdebug.dll>"
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_port="<the port for Xdebug to listen to>" (the default port is 9000)
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir="<AMP home\tmp>"
Just some questions about those fields and XDebug.
So I guess XDebug is some kind of service that runs on the remote_port and that PhpStorm is using to write data to? Or do you have to specify the port where the application you want to test is running?
What exactly is the profiler thing? And can the output dir be anything I can choose?
So this is my php.ini file that I think it should be:
[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php71-xdebug/2.5.4/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir="/usr/tmp"
That's it for the php.ini. So I have to check the settings in my PhpStorm IDE. And those are the following:
So that is my setup. In my project I just have one index.php with <?php echo phpinfo(); ?> I just click the Chrome icon so it opens directly in the browser to check if XDebug is there. I see the following result.
So I thought to myself ok let's try some debugging. So I changed my index.php file to the following
$i = 2;
$j = $i + 2;
echo $j
I've put a breakpoint on the 2nd line. And when I run it, it never stops at the breakpoint. What is needed to do that or am I wrong in my configuration somewhere?
To make Xdebug remote debugging working on your page, you need to set a cookie in your browser, telling the server you want to debug the page, there are many extensions for that, the most known is Xdebug helper in Chrome.
I also suggest you to follow this tutorial Zero-configuration debugging, it is very detailed and clear IMO.
If you still have problems i'll try to help you with pleasure :)
I'm on Windows and I'm trying to debug a Web application (hosted with Vagrant/Homestead) using PhpStorm through XDebug. I tried many configurations but I can't get things working. The PhpStorm XDebug setup is pretty common.
This is the current xdebug configuration:
vagrant#homestead: /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.remote_connect_back = on
xdebug.idekey='PHPSTORM'
In the IDE "Start listening for PHP debug connections" it's turned on. When I attempt to start debugging a new chrome tab opens and the URL ends, for example, with ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=16588 but the debugger doesn't run and this is what the IDE says:
Also, netstat says the port 9000 is still listening.
Any idea?
You are changing the 20-xdebug.ini file for the Command Line Interface (CLI). Instead you need to change the /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini for the Apache settings, since you are using Chrome.
UPDATE
I'm not sure of the differences between Apache and Nginx (which may be /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini), but here is how I got it working with a VirtualBox VM running Apache, on a Windows computer.
Settings for 20-xdebug.ini:
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.1... (your windows IP address within your network)
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.autostart=1
I have been dealing with an unexpected error when trying to setup xdebug 2 with PhpStorm (2016.2.2). It says:
Connection with 'xdebug 2.5.0rc1' was not established. Validate installation.
I decided to ask for help because I cannot solve this error for 3 days already and I have tried everything I could.
These are the setup steps that I did:
pasted my phpinfo here (https://xdebug.org/wizard.php) and downloaded the recommended php_xdebug.dll (php_xdebug-2.5.0rc1-5.5-vc11-nts-x86_64).
copied php.ini file into bin\php\php5.6.0 and added these lines of code:
[Xdebug]
zend_extension = C:\MAMP\bin\php\php5.6.0\ext\php_xdebug-2.5.0rc1-5.6-vc11.dll
xdebug.default_enable=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_port = 80
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
Installed "JetBrains IDE Support" and "Xdebug helper" extensions for Chrome browser.
Sometimes I manage to debug (I guess) without an error but I get an error on browser which says "No direct script access allowed".
I am on Windows 10 x64 running MAMP 3.2.2 with php 5.6.0. Don't know what more details I can provide right now but it looks enough.
The problem that I had was on the other laptop that I use. Both of them use the same settings (win10, MAMP 3.2.2). On my second laptop (the one I am currently typing from) this is php.ini settings:
PHP version: 5.6.0 PHP CLI: C:\MAMP\bin\php\php5.6.0\php.exe PHP CGI:
C:\MAMP\bin\php\php5.6.0\php-cgi.exe Loaded Configuration File:
C:\MAMP\bin\php\php5.6.0\php.ini Debugger extension: xdebug 2.4.1
It uses xdebug 2.4.1 and I dont get the error on this laptop. I will try to get the same xdebug version to my first laptop and see if it works.
And this is the only command I added to php.ini on the second laptop (xdebug functioning) "zend_extension = C:\MAMP\bin\php\php5.6.0\ext\php_xdebug-2.4.1-5.6-vc11.dll" . Does it even make sense that without extra Xdebug settings it could even run?
I have configured the xdebug to the Netbeans IDE. My machine has been installed with XAMPP 1.7.4. it has php 5.3.5.
( In phpinfo() page i noticed,
Apache Version - Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8o PHP/5.3.4
Debug Build - no
)
The version of xdebug is "php_xdebug-2.1.1-5.3-vc9.dll".
I kept this dll under the folder(directory) C\:xampp\php\ext.
And I done the settings in the file php.ini, under the folder --\php\php.ini.
I have done the folloing setting in the file php.ini
zend_extension_ts="C:xamppphpextphp_xdebug-2.1.1-5.3-vc9.dll"
;xdebug.remote_enable=true
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.profiler_enable=0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir="C:xampptmp"
Later I tried to debug the php project.. debugger is not working. But in the IDE "Waiting For Connection (netbeans-xdebug)" message is getting.
I request you to current me.
Uncomment remote_enable=true, it is necessary
Enable xdebug.remote_log, e.g. xdebug.remote_log="/tmp/xdebug.log", it should tell you if xdebug attempts to connect to the IDE or not
If it doesn't attempt to connect, put an xdebug_break() call in your code, this should force the call to the IDE
Also note that you have to define an env variable to debug from CLI, and for browsers there are many extensions. Details on: http://xdebug.org/docs/remote
My netbeans does not work the breakpoints using xdebug, my configuration looks correct, so I configured the first time I ran up to stop debugging the first time since then has never worked, someone had this problem? The version of my netbeans is 6.8 and the version of php is 2.5.2.
my php.ini:
zend_extension_ts = d:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5\ext\php_xdebug-2.0.2-5.2.5.dll
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=netbeans-xdebug
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
In my case this line needed to be included in the php.ini:
xdebug.remote_autostart=on
Here is the configuration section for XDebug:
[xdebug]
xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey="netbeans-xdebug"
xdebug.remote_autostart=on
xdebug.profiler_enable = on
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = on
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "d:/wamp/tmp"
Checklist for xdebug:
Check that xdebug is loaded in phpinfo(), and the runtime value matches expected configuration.
xdebug.remote_enable is on.
xdebug.extended_info should be on for breakpoints to work.
xdebug.remote_port must be same as ide and unused.
xdebug.remote_handler is dbgp.
xdebug.idekey should be set to same as ide's key if xdebug.remote_autostart is on.
Sometimes it help to set xdebug.remote_host to intranet IP or computer name instead of local ip 127.0.0.1. PHP must be allowed by Firewall to connect to this host and port.
Setting xdebug.remote_log to a file will help in checking what is wrong. Disable the log once debug is working.
Sample config:
[xdebug]
xdebug.extended_info=on
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_autostart=on
xdebug.idekey="netbeans-xdebug"
Checklist for NetBeans:
Firewall must allow Netbeans to listen for connection with configured host.
Tools -> Options -> PHP -> Debugging, check port. Also check session id if xdebug.remote_autostart is on.
Project type must be PHP.
Project Properties -> Source, web root must be correct.
Project Properties -> Run Configuration, index file need to be a php (or empty) for Ctrl+F5 to work.
Project Properties -> Run Configuration -> Advanced, debug url should be "Default" or "Ask Everytime".
Project Properties -> Run Configuration -> Advanced, path mapping must be correct. (e.g. empty if there are no mappings)
(Most default options work out of the box, so if you are desperate try to delete and recreate the project.)
False Instructions, tested on PHP 5.5 and xdebug 2.2:
PHP output_buffering does not need to be off. (But may help in debugging)
OPCache (Zend Cache) module can be loaded.
xdebug.profiler_enable can be enabled.
Please edit this answer if you found something new.
Check that you have the right version of Xdebug for your version of PHP (including Thread-safe/non-thread-safe and 64bit/32bit).
In some newer versions of PHP, you need to use zend_extension, not zend_extension_ts, regardless of whether you have the TS version of Xdebug.
(I am replying with an Answer since the formatting in comments wasn't working properly)
Same happened for me: worked once and then stopped. However, I reached a point in my config where it started working without problems and I can share.
First I moved on top of php.ini the ioncube loader:
[PHP]
zend_extension=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/zend/lib/ioncube_loader_dar_5.2.so
Then I put these lines in the xdebug config:
[xdebug]
zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xdebug.so"
xdebug.default_enable=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
And commented out all the lines about Zend Optimizer
[Zend]
;zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
;zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.3
;zend_optimizer.version=3.3.3
I work on MAMP, this is why the paths to my libraries are referred to my MAMP folder.
Good luck
zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.3-5.4-vc9.dll"xdebug.remote_enable = 1 xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"xdebug.remote_host = "localhost" xdebug.remote_port="9000" xdebug.remote_mode=req xdebug.trace_output_dir = "C:\xampp\tmp" xdebug.idekey="netbeans-xdebug"
this is working for me..
Here's how I was able to get it to work w/ mulitple PHP-FPM homebrew installations.
I used this excellent article for the multiple installations:
https://echo.co/blog/os-x-1010-yosemite-local-development-environment-apache-php-and-mysql-homebrew
In the comments of that post you'll see recommended how to install xdebug, bottom line:
brew install php56-xdebug
You have to install xdebug for each verions of PHP you have installed. Homebrew will make a xdebug.ini file for each version of php you installed. Each will have a path like:
/usr/local/etc/php/<version # i.e. "5.6">/conf.d/ext-xdebug.ini
This article installs DNSMasq which runs on xdebug's default port (9000), so you'll need to change the xdebug port to something else (9001 works fine.)
Edit the above mentioned ext-xdebug.ini file (or files if you installed more than one version of php.) Here's what works for me:
[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/local/opt/php56-xdebug/xdebug.so"
; General config
; Dumps local variables on exception
xdebug.show_local_vars=On
; Dump server variables
xdebug.dump.SERVER=*
; Dump global variables
xdebug.dump_globals=On
xdebug.collect_params=4;
; Tracing
;xdebug.auto_trace=On
;xdebug.trace_output_dir= /opt/local/php_traces/
xdebug.show_mem_delta=On
xdebug.collect_return=On
; Debugging. You might need to specify your host with some additional options
xdebug.remote_enable=1
: from http://devzone.zend.com/1147/debugging-php-applications-with-xdebug/
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9001
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
The first two lines are all that is in the original homebrew file.
BTW - when I installed multiple PHP versions, this ext-xdebug.ini file was only created for the first PHP version I installed. I simply copied this file to the other PHP version locations, and changed the "php56-xdebug" part of the path in line 2 to reflect the proper php version.
Notice "xdebug.remote_port=9001"
Then in Netbeans (I'm using 8.02 Mac osX10.10.3) I use the following settings.
Go to Preferences->PHP->Debugging
Debugger Port: 9001
Stop at First Line: (unchecked)
Watches & Balloon Evaluation: (checked - there's a warning but it works fine for me.)
Also worth noticing is that in order for xdebug to show up using phpinfo() (or command line php -i) I need to restart apache with:
launchctl unload -Fw ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php56.plist
sudo apachectl restart
launchctl load -Fw ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php56.plist
For some reason my setup requires me to run this every time I startup. Kind of a pain, but I incorporated it in a shell command to easily switch between versions.
One more hint: part of brew info php56 says:
OS X 10.8 and newer come with php-fpm pre-installed, to ensure you are using
the brew version you need to make sure /usr/local/sbin is before /usr/sbin
in your PATH:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"
Until I added this to my .profile_bash file, changes I made to each version's php-fpm.conf file were not recognized. Everything else seemed to work so it was confusing.
Hope this saves someone else time & trouble.
If you are still stuck you could try the following:
Download a new version of xdebug via the wizard (http://www.xdebug.org/wizard.php) and if you follow the instructions maybe you will be lucky.
Switching off the firewall might help.
Use a different port in netbeans, for instance in my case using 9001 in netbeans and 9000 in xdebug worked.
Add to php.ini file: xdebug.idekey=netbeans-xdebug.
Find out if you have a xdebug.ini file and add the xdebug related php.ini lines to that file.
Always make sure that you restart your apache service to test everything.
In my case - host is on another server, Net-beans 11 - I need to open terminal to remotehost
Window -> IDE Tools -> Terminal -> Remote Terminal
P.S. If u type export XDEBUG_CONFIG="idekey=netbeans-xdebug" in that terminal, and start debugging session, u can debug console scripts
