Annual xdebug "Listening to php connections" / chrome xdebug helper issue...

IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3.5 (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-243.26053.27, built on March 15, 2025
Runtime version: 21.0.6+8-b631.39 amd64 (JCEF 122.1.9)
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o.
Windows 11.0

I'm at a loss on why this isn't working.

I've recently installed the Jetbrains xdebug helper in chrome.

This is a recently installed system, moving to windows 11. 

I've confirmed that php and xdebug is configured on my xampp install and is working. I can select a php file from Intellij, set a breakpoint, run Debug “<file name>”  and it will merrily start debugging.

Now I enable “Start listening to php connections”
 

start my web app, turn on the xdebug helper:

submit the page that runs php code with breakpoint set, and nothing. No messages no nothing.

Any help on where to start with this?

Hello,

Generally, I'd recommend following https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/configuring-xdebug.html for configuring xdebug.

If, that won't help, please provide me with additional details:
- contents of phpinfo();
- xdebug settings from php.ini
