XDebug Config: Not able to "run" Follow

With these settings the green bug icon can be clicked. But the Run button is gray/disabled. I can click "rerun" in the debugger console but it does nothing, skipping breakpoints and showing no info.
what about my configuration is wrong? I saw another tutorial that uses "PHP Web Application" But I don't see that option in the configurations window.
Phpstorm 2018.3 on Lubunti 18.04

Could you please share the screenshot of the panel and your "Run/Debug configuration" settings window?
Ok, here it is
And here is the config:
Please don't use Run/Debug configurations for web debugging.
Check this guide: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/zero-configuration-debugging.html
Basically, you need to install an Xdebug extension into your browser (or use bookmarklets), and you're good to go.
By the way, the config you are trying to use doesn't work because 127.0.0.0 is not a real address, and instead of Xdebug port it's supposed to be your web server's port there.
I did the first steps, including enabling Xdebug, setting a breakpoint in a php file in my project, using the chrome Xdebug extension set to the "debug" setting (green) and reloading the page, and restarting phpstorm. The following step is where I'm stuck:
Start the debugging session #
Reload the page in the browser and return to PhpStorm. In the Incoming Connection From <Debugging Engine> dialog, select the path mappings so that PhpStorm can map the remote files on the web server to the local files in your project. If you have a deployment configuration defined, PhpStorm will offer to configure the mappings based on the paths you've already set in that configuration.
-------------
There is no prompt for an incoming connection.
I should also note that Phpstorm has updated to 2019.1. Still on Lubuntu 18.04
Oh, there's one more thing I didn't pay attention to intitially - you edited the CLI-related php.ini, it's settings won't be applied to the web server.
Please execute phpinfo() with your web server and check if Xdebug is also enabled there (just text search for xdebug on the phpinfo() page).
ok, searching for xdebug I got this. I'm not sure if this is enough

php -ioutput doesn't necessarily mean 1) that you're using the same interpreter for your web server 2) that web server uses the same php.ini as CLI does.Please put a .php file with
<?php phpinfo();into the web root of your web server and open this page with your browser.Sorry, I realized that and revised my last post. It now has info about what phpinfo(); returned.

That is what I meant - there's no Xdebug enabled for your web server.
Please add these to
/etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini:Then restart Apache and check how it goes.
Just got a note on the bottom right of PhpStorm:
"Can not accept Xdebug Connection"
Cannot evaluate expression 'isset($_SERVER['PHP_IDE_CONFIG'])'
Looks like its working now, thank you for guiding me through it!
Looks like it is somewhat working, with issues. I still get this popup error on the lower right:
Can not accept external Xdebug connection
Cannot evaluate expression 'isset($_SERVER['PHP_IDE_CONFIG'])'
Also in the debugger, multiple tabs for the same file open automatically in 3-5 minute intervals
Looks like some other host/service tries to connect or you have a cron job that reset connection as described here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-19012#focus=streamItem-27-709332.0-0
Try changing Debug port to e.g. 9002 in /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini (xdebug.remote_port=9002) and in File | Settings | Languages & Frameworks | PHP | Debug.
