xdebug drives me nuts

Hi,

 

the last two days, i tried to configure phpStorm 4 and xDebug - without success.

 

Webserver is

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

lighttpd/1.4.28 (ssl)

PHP Version => 5.3.10-1ubuntu3

Xdebug v2.1.4 (xdebug was installed with the instruction from here http://xdebug.org/wizard.php)

 

xdebug-config:
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_autostart=0
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_log="/srv/log/xdebug.log"

 

 

Local machine with phpStorm 4.0

OSX 10.7.3

phpStorm 4

 

I tried:

 

Case 1

 

nothing happens.

 

I try the script from this comment http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/WI-1818#comment=27-207037 with fsockopen('[webserver]', '9001') -> unable to connect to webserver:9001 (Connection refused)

phpStorm Tools > DBGp Proxy -> Register with webserver-ip / webserver-name / localhost / 127.0.0.1  on port 9000 / 9001 and IDE-Key PHPSTORM - nothing

 

 

Case 2

I installed pydbgproxy on webserver.

 

INFO: dbgp.proxy: starting proxy listeners.  appid: 7881
INFO: dbgp.proxy:     dbgp listener on 127.0.0.1:9000
INFO: dbgp.proxy:     IDE listener on  127.0.0.1:9001

 

I reload the browser

WARNING: dbgp.proxy: No server with key [PHPSTORM], stopping request [<__main__.sessionProxy instance at 0xd233b0>]

phpStorm Tools > DBGp Proxy -> Register with webserver-ip / webserver-name / localhost / 127.0.0.1  on port 9000 /9001 and IDE-Key PHPSTORM - nothing

 

Case 3

ssh tunnel to webserver with ssh -L 9001:localhost:9001 me@webserver.de

phpStorm Tools > DBGp Proxy -> Register with localhost and IDE-Key PHPSTORM -> Xdebug proxy: IDE successfully registered with ide key 'PHPSTORM'

INFO: dbgp.proxy: Server:onConnect ('127.0.0.1', 54281) [proxyinit -p 9000 -k PHPSTORM -m 1]

 

But

many...

INFO: dbgp.proxy: connection from 127.0.0.1:51528 [<__main__.sessionProxy instance at 0x7f963c06d050>]

INFO: dbgp.proxy: connection from 127.0.0.1:51530 [<__main__.sessionProxy instance at 0x7f963c068a70>]
...

 

and

WARNING: dbgp.proxy: Exception in _cmdloop [[Errno 104] Connection reset by peer]

 

In phpStorm - nothing happens.

 

I read somewhere, that it can be problem with ipv6. therefore I disabled ipv6, but nothing changes.

 

 

Case 4

I set 

xdebug.remote_host = serverIp

 

and start the proxy with

./pydbgpproxy -i serverIp:9001 -d serverIp:9000

 

phpStorm Tools > DBGp Proxy with serverIp an 9001 an idekey works

INFO: dbgp.proxy: Server:onConnect ('88.134.8.12', 64011) [proxyinit -p 9000 -k PHPSTORM -m 1]

 

But if I reload the page, the browser loads eternal and

INFO: dbgp.proxy: connection from 188.165.179.56:42958 [<__main__.sessionProxy instance at 0x7f5704033bd8>]

in phpStorm nothing happens

 

 

Can someone help me?

Re: xdebug drives me nuts

Hi there,

 

1) You don't need xdebug proxy if you are the only person to connect to it. That's different thing.

 

2) Where is your web server? Next to you (LAN/Virtual .. or somewhere on Internet). If 2nd -- you may need to setup your router to forward incoming traffic on TCP 9000 (xdebug port number from PhpStorm) to your PC (as it's xdebug who initiates connection).

 

3) Make sure that PhpStorm actually listen TCP 9000 (xdebug port) on your computer (use netstat or similar to check)

 

4)

xdebug.remote_host=localhost

If server is not on the same computer as PhpStorm (e.g. another server, even virtual), then you have to put your actual IP here -- unless you are using SSH tunnel

 

In any case -- you need to check if you are able to connect from your server to your computer on xdebug port -- you can do it with telnet. Activate the "Listen php Debug Button" and try to connect with telnet (use correct remote IP).

 

 

So .. for case #1 -- use correct IP address for xdebug.remote_host -- it has to be IP of your PC as it is visible from your server. To check that IP -- write some simple PHP script that will check $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and access that script from your PC via browser.

 

For other cases -- better search this forum for "ssh xdebug proxy" keywords (I'm not expert here to advise anything) -- there were 1 or two topics on that, 1 of them had the solution with some explanation (the guy was describing what he was doing).

Re: xdebug drives me nuts

 

hi!


thank you for your fast reply.

1) You don't need xdebug proxy if you are the only person to connect to it. That's different thing.

We plan to debug with more than one person on this web server. But for the first time it would be nice, if one person this could do 

Make sure that PhpStorm actually listen TCP 9000 (xdebug port) on your computer (use netstat or similar to check)

 


els-MacBook-Pro:~ el$ netstat -np TCP 9000
            input        (Total)           output
   packets  errs      bytes    packets  errs      bytes colls




els-MacBook-Pro:~ el$ netstat -np TCP 9001
            input        (Total)           output
   packets  errs      bytes    packets  errs      bytes colls

 

 

I close phpStorm, opend it again, activate and deactivate the debug listening button, but in netstat nothing happens.

Re: xdebug drives me nuts

It works now without the proxy.

reason was a typo in xdebug-config

xdebug.remote_log="/srv/log/xdebug.log"

should have been

xdebug.remote_log="/var/log/xdebug.log"

 

config is now

 

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626/xdebug.so

xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_autostart=On
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_log="/tmp/xdebug.log"

 

From my local machine I open an ssh-tunnel

ssh -R 9000:localhost:9000 me@webserver.de

Re: xdebug drives me nuts

El,

 

You have set remote_handler, remote_host, remote_port and remote_mode to their default values. In other words, you can remove those from your ini file.

xdebug.remote_enable=On
xdebug.remote_autostart=On
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_log="/tmp/xdebug.log"

Would be enough in your case. You may want to try it without the idekey as well since that works for me.

 

xdebug is a wonderful product, but terribly confusing to configure (for me at least).
