I have moved to a new VPS (this vps will only run one site) and am unable to connect to my project with netbeans to debug it and I get the infuriating 'Waiting for connection' message. I am running out of ideas. Here are the steps I took for the ubuntu 12.04 LTS server I am running. It has plesk running on it as well.
So I installed xdebug with apt-get I then put my phpinfo into the xdebug wizard and upgraded to 2.2.4 I verified that xdebug is installed properly and restarted apache and in my phpinfo I can see xdebug there. I set the following in the xdebug.ini
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_mode = “req”
xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.idekey = “netbeans-xdebug”
xdebug.remote_log = "/tmp/new_xdebug_remote.log"
I also opened port 9000 with ufw and here is the output
Status: active
To Action From
-- ------ ----
[ 1] 443 ALLOW IN Anywhere
[ 2] 80 ALLOW IN Anywhere
[ 3] 22 ALLOW IN Anywhere
[ 4] 9000/tcp ALLOW IN Anywhere
[ 5] 443 ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
[ 6] 80 ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
[ 7] 22 ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
[ 8] 9000/tcp ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
NOTE: I have also tried with just 9000 not 9000/tcp
My netbeans is setup properly as the test connection is good and apart from the ip address it is the same as my previous setup to my previous AWS ec2 instance.
The port forwarding is working as I tested it with the AWS setup which works a treat. I need to debug this new VPS as I have seen an issue here not seen on AWS which is a real kick in the balls.
The xdebug log is not generated in the /tmp directory as it should be. This is suggesting to me that xdebug is never started as it does not receive the request.
Here are my xdebug settings as well incase they are needed:
