XDebug Again! Works on 1 Server, Doesn't on the other

Hi there,

Maybe it's path mappings? If the same project is used to debug on different OS then path mappings would not work as expected.

In any case -- collect logs:

• PhpStorm side: http://devnet.jetbrains.com/docs/DOC-1202
• xdebug side: http://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#remote_log

I am "pretty sure" that the mappings are correct. These are 2 different projects.

What I notice is that PHPStorm doesn't even get called, there is no Invalid path messages when I run

That's what xdebug log (from xdebug side) should confirm -- does xdebug gets initiated or maybe it does not see xdebug cookie at all.

In any case:

• Activate "phone handle" icon in PhpStorm so that it listens on xdebug port for incomming connections
• From that server, using telnet, attempt to connect to PhpStorm (using IP and port you have there) -- it's possible that firewall blocks connections somewhere.

BINGO!

Telnet responds with "Could not open connection on port 23..."

Any pointers as to what I need to do? It must be on the server since I can get connections from other servers on my editing machine.

Why are you trying to connect to port 23 when you should be connecting to xdebug one, which is 9000 (accordingly to your settings)?

In any case: xdebug log will help a lot here.

OK. I did another telnet:
o 192.168.5.100 9000

I get no response. Just hangs.

Where should I look for the xdeug log?

Got it. I set up a xdebug log, tried again and I am now getting a connection to PHPStorm.

THANKS for your help.

I am not sure what pleases me more, the PHPStorm editor or your PROMPT and helpful support.

I gave you the link in my first comment.

You should edit your php.ini to set the path to the xdebug log, restart web server (recycling app pool may be enough) and attempt to debug.

BTW:
You can trigger debug attempt programmatically from your code: xdebug_break();

I get no response. Just hangs.

If it's unable to connect, it should give you this kind of response (I'm doing local connection):

C:\Users\Andriy>telnet 127.0.0.1 9000
Connecting To 127.0.0.1...Could not open connection to the host, on port 9000: Connect failed

C:\Users\Andriy>

With successful connection it should be different (for me it was blinking cursor on empty screen)
