Questions[xdebug](server)

I have a server running CentOS7, PHP7.0.7 with php-fpm, and SELinux. I am trying to debug a PHP script running on that server. And I have a Mac machine that runs PHPstorm where I intend to do the debugging.

I followed this guide to Phpstorm.

Here's what I did:

1) installed xdebug to server

2) set xdebug config as follows:
zend_extension="/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9099
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.idekey="PHPSTORM"

3) set ssh config to have: AllowTcpForwarding yes (I then reverted it as it did not help)

4) restarted php-fpm, sshd, and httpd

5) in my local terminal, open ssh connection to server with -R flag specified
$ ssh -R 9099:localhost:9099 user@host

6) Changed xdebug config in my phpstorm to listen to port 9099 and set a breakpoint in index.php

7) Opened website in my browser

But still my local xdebug does not stop at the breakpoint.

What could I be missing in this config?

Could it be SElinux that prevents debugging?

I installed xdebug from source, but also tried my package manager (separately) and they both are loaded correctly (verified by restarting Apache and seeing the xdebug copyright info in phpinfo()) but they do not dump profiling information.

Out of the 40 different attempts of configuration it logged once or twice but I lost what I did, I tried with first only loading the module in php.ini with no settings, but it didn't log to /tmp/. I tried many different settings but my current is now:

xdebug.profiler_enable = Off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "/tmp/"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "profiler.%t"  

Of course I call my script through 127.0.0.1/test.php?XDEBUG_PROFILE, which is for enable_trigger.

Do you know why it would not dump profiler information? nobody (Arch Linux) can write to /tmp/ as it has before, so I'm sure it is not a permissions error. Apache's error_log does not tell me anything about xdebug either, as it has loaded correctly. It just does not "work"!

EDIT: I made a subfolder "xdebug_profiles" in /tmp/ and chown'ed it to nobody, and now it works flawlessly. I'm not sure why it couldn't write before, I guess it's just a caveat with nobody on Arch.

I answered my own question , not enough points to answer it or comment, so consider this answered.

I am working on one web application. The project located on my linux box i.e. server. We are remotely accessing this machine from windows.

I am using xdebug for debugging alongwith Eclipse PDT. xdebug is installed on my server. Below configuration are set in php.ini file ( which is located on server ) :

xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_host=10.88.36.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler="dbgp"
xdebug.remote_log = /tmp/xdebug.log

After doing the above configuration setting in php.ini for xdebug, its allowing only one host this time ( i.e. 10.88.36.1)

Here my question is I wanted to allow for multiple hosts. I know in zend debugger there is one configuration parameter present which does this i.e.

zend_debugger.allow_hosts=10.88.36.28, 10.88.36.1

Whether this parameter present in xdebug ? so that i can able to allow multiple hosts to have access to server remotely.

Thanks,

I am trying to get xdebug working on my snow leopard box.

It uses port 9000.

When I ask slickedit to monitor this port is gives an error that the address is not available.

I've gone to canyouseeme.org to see if the port is open.

It says the port is NOT open.

I've verified that I have that port forwarding to my box from the router and i do NOT have the mac firewall running.

I'm stumped. Any ideas?

I am trying to Install XDebug on Ubuntu latest version but get the following error:

 pecl install Xdebug

How can I solve this?
