More additional changes. I do not need to add anything to the end of /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini either. Also, if I add xdebug.log=/var/log/xdebug.log to my 20-xdebug.ini file, then it starts recording a log (I had the wrong syntax; needed xdebug 3). It shows: [1490345] [Config] INFO: Trigger value for 'XDEBUG_TRIGGER' not found, falling back to 'XDEBUG_SESSION' [1490345] [Config] INFO: Trigger value for 'XDEBUG_SESSION' not found, so not activating

I *finally* got somewhere! I did, in fact, need to re-enable the browser opening (Run > Set Project Configuration > Customize > Advanced > Default) so that the browser opens with "?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=session name" at the end of the address. I previously had "Do Not Open Web Browser" because of these instructions. Once I re-enabled the Web Browser, it worked and connected. When I had attempted those instructions before (and didn't disable the web browser thing), I had configurations for xdebug 2, but I needed xdebug 3. I had changed to xdebug 3, but it didn't work until I enabled the web browser opening again. Now, upon the web browser opening, I'm getting "504 Gateway Time-out." But at least I can connect remotely with xdebug now!

Already had it in there, in both files. Also had them in both files. It doesn't help me to connect. I went ahead and erased remote_autostart, remote_handler, and remote_mode in both files. I still can't connect. Any other ideas on why I can't connect?

I have Netbeans installed on a local Ubuntu Desktop and have set up Netbeans "Php Application from Remote Server". The remote server is a headless ubuntu server in an Oracle compute instance. Everything downloaded fine with an sftp connection. I tried to follow these instructions (and these updated ones) but I'm still getting "Waiting for Connection" in Netbeans. For example, on the remote, headless server, in /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini (which is also symlinked to /etc/php/7.4/mods-available/xdebug.ini): [xdebug] zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20190902/xdebug.so xdebug.remote_autostart=off xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp xdebug.mode=debug xdebug.client_host=localhost xdebug.client_port=9003 xdebug.remote_mode=req output_buffering=off xdebug.remote_log="/var/log/xdebug.log" And at the end of /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini: [xdebug] zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20190902/xdebug.so xdebug.remote_autostart=off xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp xdebug.mode=debug xdebug.client_host=localhost xdebug.client_port=9003 xdebug.remote_mode=req output_buffering=off xdebug.remote_log="/var/log/xdebug.log" I then restart php and nginx (I have nginx, not Apache): sudo systemctl restart php7.4-fpm sudo systemctl restart nginx On my laptop in terminal (which has Ubuntu Desktop), I port forward with the following: ssh -R 9003:localhost:9003 -i ~/.ssh/rsa_key -f -N [email protected] To check if remote port forwarding is working, in my remote server: netstat -a -n | grep 9003 It correctly shows: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9003 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 ::1:9003 :::* LISTEN But then I go to start debugging in Netbeans, and I get the dreaded "Waiting for Connection." I'm not sure what else to do. For further information, on my remote server, I did: sudo php -i and pasted the contents into the Xdebug Wizard. I did it again just now, and here are the results: Summary Xdebug installed: 3.1.6 Server API: Command Line Interface Windows: no Zend Server: no PHP Version: 7.4.3 Zend API nr: 320190902 PHP API nr: 20190902 Debug Build: no Thread Safe Build: no OPcache Loaded: yes Configuration File Path: /etc/php/7.4/cli Configuration File: /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini Extra Configuration Files Path: /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d Extra Configuration Files: /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/10-mysqlnd.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/10-opcache.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/10-pdo.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/15-xml.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-bz2.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-calendar.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-ctype.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-curl.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-dom.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-exif.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-ffi.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-fileinfo.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-ftp.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-gd.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-gettext.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-iconv.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-intl.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-json.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-mbstring.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-mysqli.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-pdo_mysql.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-phar.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-posix.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-readline.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-shmop.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-simplexml.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-soap.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-sockets.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-sysvmsg.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-sysvsem.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-sysvshm.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-tokenizer.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-xmlreader.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-xmlrpc.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-xmlwriter.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-xsl.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-zip.ini Extensions directory: /usr/lib/php/20190902 You're already running the latest Xdebug version But here are the instructions anyway: Download xdebug-3.1.6.tgz Install the pre-requisites for compiling PHP extensions.

Enabling Features Now Xdebug is installed, you can enable its features. Please refer to the dedicated sections in the documentation about information on how to enable and configure these Xdebug features. Where these sections refer to php.ini or similar, please remember to use /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini: Development Helpers — help you get better error messages and obtain better information from PHP's built-in functions. Step Debugging — allows you to interactively walk through your code to debug control flow and examine data structures. Profiling — allows you to find bottlenecks in your script and visualize those with an external tool.
