Xdebug: configured, confirmed, when listening page is not loading

Hi!

I'm on PHPStorm 2017.3 on Windows 10, with vagrant testing server on the same machine. Recently I've updated vagrant box to have newest Postgres 13 and PHP7 (I'm recoding old client's website to newer server specs). Until then the PHPStorm/Vagrant/Xdebug configuration was working as a charm. Since the update I'm having such issue:

Xdebug is installed, PHPStorm validation in Settings windows is showing that all is OK, website is running, reloading and everything is fine. But when I start listening for PHP debug connections (I have the chrome Xdebug extension installed), and reload a page - the page stays blank and loading (even though there are no breakpoins in the script).

The Xdebug log is not even created. I tried to switch off Windows Defender Firewall, but it didn't help. Ubuntu firewall is inactive.

What is wrong? Please help! It's another (4th) weekend wasted searching for solution to this issue. :((((((((((

 

My Xdebug config:

[Xdebug]
zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_autostart=0
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.1.254

Hi there,

PHPStorm 2017.3

with Xdebug v2.9.6

Xdebug 2.7+ requires PhpStorm 2018.3 or newer.

You have to upgrade your PhpStorm. P.S. And you better upgrade Xdebug to the latest 2.9.8 in 2.9 branch... or better to Xdebug v3 (in such case please also see Xdebug: Upgrading from Xdebug 2 to 3 )

Cannot comment on the "page remains loading" / "no log gets created" parts.

Although: on certains systems like modern Ubuntu the /tmp path is "virtualized" per app  ("private tmp").. so "/tmp/xdebug.log" in reality might be "/tmp/some-sort-of-id/xdebug.log" instead -- see https://xdebug.org/docs/step_debug#log for details (at the end)

This error usually indicates that the Amazon WorkSpaces client can authenticate over port 443, but can’t establish a streaming connection over port 4172. This can happen when network prerequisites aren’t met. Issues on the client side often cause the network check in the bottom-right corner of the client to fail.

OK, Andriy Bazanov,

thanks for your response. I've tried many options for last few weeks. But with no success... I even got back to my previous configuration, with older Ubuntu Trusty, with PHP5, with Xdebug 2. Validation tool in PHP/Debug settings shows that everything is okay. And I still cannot make the PhpStorm and Xdebug cooperate again... 

I've turned back to my previous setup of PhpStorm and server, I've checked the Chrome Xdebug plugin...

And now when I set the Chrome Plugin to debug (the green bug icon is on), and I turn on "Start listening for PHP debug connections", and reload the website (local domain configured on ubuntu on VM), the browser starts loading... and it's in loading state... and you amy wait as long as you wish, with no result... But as soon as you turn off the "Start listening for PHP debug connections" in PhpStorm, the website loads immediately. So it looks like PhpStorm is blocking the connection between browsed and server. Of course when I switch off the listening mode I have no debugging data...

What's happened? I've had the environment working for few years. I just need to update the website a bit as the source data and sever stepped on new software and format, and I need the debugging to destruct the huge amounts of data I receive. I'ts a task for few days, and I've just spent weeks on the xdebug issue... Please help! :(

1. IDE version? It looks a bit old to me...

2. Enable Xdebug log, try to debug and show what it has to say.

P.S. One screenshot shows Xdebug v2.5.x; another shows v2.2.x ...
