PhpStorm Newbie debugging phpBB
I have a production phpBB website, and want to develop new features. I have a replicate test environment running on my Windows desktop - I'm using XAMPP. The behavior of the local website is the same as my remote, production website.
I've installed PhpStorm, and I've enabled Xdebug. When I run my site in the PhpStorm environment using Chrome, the behavior is odd. the presentation of the home page is intact, but when I go to the login page and authenticate, I immediately return to the login page. There isn't a complaint that returns me there, like entering the incorrect password; there's no warning at all.
You can browse subforums as a guest in phpBB. However, when I do from PhpStorm, I get the dreaded "502 Bad Gateway" splash.
Any ideas to set me straight?
Thanks - Dan

Where, how? I can add a single file here, but I'm not sure this is the right place, and in any event it looks like it accommodates a single file - and, I have two, per the recommendation on the phpBB forum:
