PHPStorm unable to make external connection with xdebug

Question

My OS is Mac Mountain lion.

My PhpStorm version is 5.0.4.

Here is my php xdebug info:

• xdebug.remote_autostart => Off => Off
• xdebug.remote_connect_back => Off => Off
• xdebug.remote_cookie_expire_time => 3600 => 3600
• xdebug.remote_enable => On => On
• xdebug.remote_handler => dbgp => dbgp
• xdebug.remote_host => 127.0.0.1 => 127.0.0.1
• xdebug.remote_log => data/logs/xdebug.log => data/logs/xdebug.log
• xdebug.remote_mode => req => req
• xdebug.remote_port => 9000 => 9000
• xdebug.idekey => no value => no value

I can debug PhpScript Run Type in PhpStorm,It works fine.So I think xdebug configure well.

But after I try follow the "Zero Configure Debug"(Which with Webapplication Run Type),Phpstorm can not connect with the incoming connection.

Here is my step:

1. Click Start Listion Php Connection.(Toggle the call to green)
2. Click Run->Break at first line in PhpScript,and set breakpoint at first statement.
3. Choose My WebApplication Config and click Debug button.Then it launches chrome and link to my phpscript.(with ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=19869)
4. In PhpStorm,Debugger shows Waiting for incoming connection with ide key '19869'.
5. In termial,printlsof -i4TCP:9000.

   COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
   webide 288 wangfeng 69u IPv6 0xa83881cdce30c579 0t0 TCP *:cslistener (LISTEN)

6. Open Chrome's Developer Tool,Select Cookies.

   XDEBUG_SESSION 19869 localhost / Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:27:17 GMT 19

7. Refresh Chrome.Not able connect with PhpStorm debug connection.

Additional:

• My firewall was closed.
• My Server is nginx.My phpwebapp and server is all at my local machine.

Does it cause ipv6?

Hopes help!I have try everything,extensions bookmarklets,not work at all.

Answer 1

It's possible that port 9000 is being used by some other process.

1. In php.ini set xdebug.remote_port=9001 or another unused port of your choosing.
2. In PHPStorm go to Settings->PHP->Debug and under the Xdebug section set Debug port to 9001.
3. Restart your web server.
4. Start debugging.

Answer 2

After checking all the configuration in php.ini file and the IDE, do not forget to add the browser-specific extension that basically communicates via the IDE via IDE Key.
