I have Ubuntu 18.04 and a fresh installation of Laravel 8. I want to use Xdebug together with Sail. I followed the instructions as follows:
Added SAIL_XDEBUG_MODE=develop,debug to env
Run sail build --no-cache and sail up -d
Run docker inspect -f {{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.Gateway}}{{end}} <container-name> to get the IP of my docker container
Added SAIL_XDEBUG_CONFIG="client_host=172.19.2.1" to env (IP from step 3)
Next I continued with the instruction from PhpStorm for debugging:
Validated that Xdebug is active by sail php -v.
Enabled listening to debug connection in PhpStorm
Set a breakpoint and also enabled Break at first line in PHP scripts
Installed Xdebug Helper browser extension for Chrome
Clicked on debug in extension (bug is now green)
Refresh page, page builds very slowly, but loads completely (which should not be the case, it should hang on a breakpoint)
If I switch to PhpStorm, then no dialog pops up. However, according to the instructions, there should be some instructions.
Reload the page in the browser and return to PhpStorm. In the Incoming
Connection From dialog, select the path mappings so
that PhpStorm can map the remote files on the web server to the local
files in your project.
Hera are my debug settings:
What am I missing?
Thanks to the helps of #LazyOne I got it working. I just had to skip step 3 & 4 in my instructions.
Or in other words, I had to follow the instructions of https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/sail#debugging-with-xdebug but ignore the Linux Host IP Configuration section, although I am on Linux. Looks like this section is not appropriate for Ubuntu?
I want to set up mailhog on my windows laptop.
I downloaded the executable added it to the path.when I'm using the URL localhost:8025, it works just fine, opens up mailhog,but I won't get any messages in the inbox, I think the problem is with mhsendmail, I edited the php.ini file so it is set to the mhsendmail folder where mhsendmail.exe is also I set smtp_port=1025,but it still won't work,what do I need to do ?
I try to setup Apache (part of EnterpriseDB ApachePHP package) for localhost. But Apache won't start since the first restart (after initial configuration). Httpd.exe complains that "DocumentRoot must be a directory" - but it IS a directory, and Apache even recognized it as such before the first restart. This problem persists even when I change the DocumentRoot back to its default directory.
The problematic line looks like this: DocumentRoot "d:\www\" When changing the backslashes to slashes or deleting the trailing backslash httpd.exe works forever and never reaches any result, so I understand that this is the correct format.
There is a good question on this: Apache restart causes DocumentRoot must be a directory, even though it is a directory and there seem to be no privilege issues. Unfortunately, I believe its solution is not applicable to my case: on Windows XP (32 bit) there is no SELinux to disable.
The last action I did before the restart was enabling (uncommenting) php_gd2 library in php.ini. Reverting this didn't make Apache work, so I guess this is not the reason. This (and the root directory in httpd.conf) was the only change I did, otherwise I accepted EDB's defaults.
Any ideas what to do now?
I have reinstalled EnterpriseDB Apache PHP and now it seems to work fine. The correct format is with no trailing slash - under this configuration server is running now, and when I execute httpd.exe in command line, it shows some log in less than a minute (not "still working after an hour"). I don't know what caused the problem, but it is solved.
I have recently got a mac an am not used to developing on a mac at all.
I have MAMP Pro 1.9.6.1. I did a locate on php.ini and got this:
$ locate php.ini
/Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.2/php.ini
/Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.3/php.ini
/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf/php.ini
/private/etc/php.ini.default
I changed the name of all of them. Restarted MAMP. It loaded without a hitch (I know odd right?). I am using PHP version 5.2.
All of these files are now different names (done one by one for process of elimination).
So I figure restart the mac. Same, MAMP loaded no problems, even though all of the php.ini files had been move. On Lamp this that wouldn't even load. But either there is another php.ini file I'm missing (quite possible I don't know how to updatedb), MAMP is really intelligent and just pulls in all of them (less likely) or it doesn't use one.
Note: If this doesn't help, check below for Ricardo Martins' answer.
Create a PHP script with <?php phpinfo() ?> in it, run that from your browser, and look for the value Loaded Configuration File. This tells you which php.ini file PHP is using in the context of the web server.
I'm not sure if in MAMP (non-PRO) is the same, but MAMP overrides the modified php.ini everytime it starts.
In my case, I needed to use the MAMP menu to change my php.ini file (File -> Edit Template -> PHP -> PHP 5.xx -> php.ini).
To be clearer (as i read this thread but didn't SEE the solution, also if it was here!), I have the same problem and found the cause: I were modifying the wrong php.ini!
Yes, there are 2 php.ini files in MAMP:
Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.5.10/php.ini
Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini
The right php.ini file is the second: Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini
To prove this, create a .php file (call it as you like, for example "info.php") and put into it a simple phpinfo()
<?php
echo phpinfo();
Open it in your browser and search for "Loaded Configuration File": mine is "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini"
The error was here; i edited Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.5.10/php.ini but this is the wrong file to modify! Infact, the right php.ini file is the one in the bin directory.
Take care of this so small difference that caused me literally 1 and a half hours of headaches!
The file you have to edit is in MAMP Pro and uses the php.ini file everytime it starts up.
Start MAMP PRO
Edit File > Edit Templates > PHP 5.3.2 php.ini
Restart MAMP Pro
Your changes should stick.
I don't know if you ever found an answer to this but I DIDN'T need MAMP PRO to do this. Simply goto the correct path by following what others have said. It's something like...
MAMP-> bin-> php-> php(your php version)-> conf-> php.ini
The key here is where you're editing the file. I was making the mistake of editing the commented part of the ini file. You actually have to scroll down to LINE #472 where it says "display_errors = Off and change it to On. Hope this helps any
Just run the following command from your terminal, it will show you your Loaded Configuration File easiest way I have ever found.
php --ini
Change /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.2/php.ini if you are using 5.2 version of php. If you are using the 5.3 php version, edit the /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.3/php.ini.
If you are using OSX Lion or OSX Mountain Lion, I recommend you using the default installation of apache and php.
Greets!
After running the MAMP server, you have php info link in toolbar
Once click, You will get all information about php
Probably the fastest way to access the PHP.ini for the currently loaded version of PHP in MAMP PRO (v.4.2.1):
Open MAMP Pro
Click on "PHP" under the "Languages" section on the sidebar
Tap on the arrow button right next to the drop-down that lets you select the "Default Version" of PHP.
It depends on which version of PHP your MAMP is using. You can find it out on: /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf looking for the configured php5_module.
After that, as someone said before, you have to go to the bin folder. There you'll find a conf folder with a php.ini inside.
example: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/conf

After going through all the solutions here, the easiest way to find the loaded php.ini file is to go into phpinfo on the loaded MAMP webpage, which will show you the loaded php.ini file.
This will also confirm if the parameters you change, like max_file_size, have updated correctly.
On my Mac, running MAMP I have a few locations that would be the likely php.ini, so I edited the memory_limit to different values in the 2 suspected files, to test which one effected the actual MAMP PHP INFO page details.
By doing that I was able to determine that this was the correct php.ini:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.10/conf/php.ini
I only have the non-pro version of MAMP but just because it loads it doesn't mean the PHP file is being found/without errors.
I renamed my php.ini files and MAMP still started but Apache returned several errors.
What are you trying to change in your php.ini file?
I have checked all answers and of course I have used phpinfo() to check the exact location of php.ini. I don't see a File option in the menu bar on my mac. I changed both php.ini and php.ini.temp files in that folder. No vail.
Until I realized that I forgot to uncomment the modified always_populate_raw_post_data line.
I was struggling with this too. My changes weren't being reflected in phpInfo. It wasn't until I stopped my servers and then restarted them again that my changes actually took effect.
I've read other questions regarding this topic. The listed solutions haven't worked.
Installed:
XAMPP 1.7.7
Netbeans 7.1.1
XDebug 2.1.4
phpinfo() shows that Xdebug is installed with all the correct parameters:
zend_extension = C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.1.4-5.3-vc9.dll
xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "localhost"
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
However, when I start a Netbeans debug session, it cycles for awhile with no effect. When I stop it, I get the Info box informing me that "No connection from xdebug was detected with in nn seconds. The reasons could be that xdebug is not installed or not properly configured. (their emphasis).
As far as I can tell, I configured everything correctly, restarted the Apache server and it still doesn't work. I'm at a total loss on how to proceed. Any help is appreciated.
Can you believe it!? After spending literally HOURS researching this problem, I finally found the cause which I can only classify as a bug. Now, how do I report a bug? That's the next question.
Here's a summary:
create PHP project and setup NetBeans project site root to subfolder.
(In order to not register for Apache new test site for any new task I
put every new task into subfolder under my local test domain, e.g.
http://test.my/project3/ ). NetBeans will not start debugging session
automatically in this case. You will see a ‘waiting for connection’
message from the image below. Do not worry. Left it as it is. Go to
your browser. I use FireFox 4. And call the script you wish to debug
with additional parameter, e.g.
http://test.my/project3/index.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=netbeans-xdebug
When you return to NetBeans you will see that connection with xdebug
is established successfully. To stop XDebug session manually call any
script from the same subdirectory with this parameter
?XDEBUG_SESSION_STOP_NO_EXEC=netbeans-xdebug
The complete solution can be found on my newest hero's blog NetBeans 7.0 for PHP Waiting for Connection to XDebug
Edit: Know what I just discovered? I removed index.php as the index file of my run configuration. Works like a charm without having to manually insert the xdebug section of the url.
I just ran into this with Netbeans 8 and while your answer worked around my problem I think I found the solution that will fix it forever.
Project Properties => Run Configuration => Advanced ...
Ensure that the following entry is selected
Debug URL: 'Default: YOUR URL'
Mine was set to "Do Not Open Web Browser" .....
Now it works as it used to work many months ago :)
I am a .Net programmer and very new to PHP. Recently I was trying to host an open source PHP application on my machine(Windows). After the Struggle for 5-6 days I will list the steps which worked for me.
I uninstalled every previous installations of XAMPP and NetBeans and proceeded with fresh installations.
This might not be the solution for everyone but it worked for me and I hope it helps someone.
install XAMPP
install netbeans for PHP.
Open IIS and stop it. It is running on port 80 by default.(I am running XAMPP on port 80 i.e. default, Running on other port might need additional configuration settings)
Open XAMPP control panel and start Apache. If port 80 is free no problem should arise.
Open localhost in browser in should display XAMPP home page.
open phpinfo() link on the left pane and copy all the contents on page. Go to: http://xdebug.org/wizard.php and paste all the content in TextBox and click Analyze my phpinfo output. It will diplay you the Xdebug file suitable for your configuration.
Download the given Xdebug dll and copy it in C:\xampp\php\ext (Xampp being the default Xampp installation directory)
Goto XAMPP control panel, click on Config button in front of Apache and select php.in,
Find line similar or exacly like,
;zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
(Semicolon means it is commented)
Remove the semicolon and replace the path with the path of dll you just copied like:
zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.3.2-5.4-vc9.dll"
Similarly find lines
;xdebug.remote_enable = 0 ;xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
remove semicolons in front of both lines and make remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_enable = 1 xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
Restart Apache server.
Copy your website code under C:/XAMPP/htdocs/(your_website)/ that means your index.php should be at C:/XAMPP/htdocs/(your_website)/index.php
Open Netbeans select New project -> PHP -> PHP project from existing source and select the folder you just copied in htdocs folder. Set it to run on Local web server.
Set a breakpoint on first line of index.php and debug.
That's it.
Additional settings were suggested on various different posts but above mentioned steps worked perfectly for me.
I think what you might be missing is
xdebug.idekey=netbeans-xdebug
this is the settings I use in my php.ini
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1 # Not safe for production servers
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=netbeans-xdebug
xdebug.remote_autostart=false
Read the installation of XAMPP 1.7.7 & Netbeans 7.1 with edditing
the php.ini file as suggested:
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/configure-php-environment-windows.html
Create your PHP project in the local XAMPP directory, c:\xammp\htdocs\*yourproject*
Debug the index.php, you will see that your browser will start with additional parameters:
http://*yourproject*/index.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=netbeans-xdebug
Go to your Netbeans, your debugger will be started.
