Cannot getting remote debugging to work

[PatriceOngla]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure remote debugging for my remote server but I don't know how to set it up. I have followed this guide but my settings seem to be completely ignored. Could you provide a step by step guide to configure remote debugging ?

Thanx in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for the question. In general you need remote server to have php installed with xdebug which you can verify by running

Code: Select all

phpinfo()

script on it. https://docs.devsense.com/debugging/troubleshooting. Also make sure firewalls are set correctly and remote server is able to connect to the development machine.

In php.ini there are options relevant to your situation:

Code: Select all

xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
;xdebug.remote_host=192.168.1.108


If you have one, you don't need other. remote_host specifies development machine which xdebug will be trying to contact, the other option will just try to connect any client which will request it. Which might be security issue in case remote server is publicly available.

Please let me know if that helped, or you'd need more specific advice.

Thanks,

Hi Miroslav,

Thank you for your answer. We had made one or to silly errors and your answer has pointed one of them (no NAT setup).

We finally got it work. It works well now except one thing : the code breaks on errors but it does not break on breakpoints. We can get it break by adding xdebug_break() calls. The file mapping is good.

Are breakpoints supposed to work in this context ? If yes, what could we have done wrong/forgotten ?

Thanks in advice.
