PhpStorm remote Xdebug issue - phpstorm

I'm trying to debug remote host from my local macbook, and face an issue - Xdebug doesn't stop at any breakpoint, including xdebug_break().
I spend a lot of time by work around and try to fix it.
So my steps was:
set xdebug.remote_host to my macbook IP, this fails and PhpStorm didn't get any connection and stacking on waiting for incoming requests
change xdebug.remote_port, and find that 9001 somehow work for me (details below)
turn on xdebug.remote_autostart - and this start debug process on very first line in my app, but still no stops on breakpoints
setup SSH tunnel from local to server to 9001 port
More details:
my OS: macOS 10.15.7
OS on remote server: CentOS
PhpStorm 2020.2.2
My php.ini config
[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_port=9001
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_start=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = on
My configuration in PhpStorm:
Any suggestions? waidw?

Minikube with PhpStorm and Xdebug

I have developed a PHP based application. This application runs actually in Kubernetes and mainly using minikube on my machine. I am using PhpStorm as IDE and I also use Xdebug for debugging purposes.
What I know from my researches are that when you start PhpStorm with Xdebug, it will start listening on a port (9000 by default). When I connect to my container (in minikube), I am able to reach the IDE at the port 9000 with netcat :
nc <my_ip_adress> 9000
This shows me a message telling that connection is open so I am able to reach the IDE from my container.
Then, when I try to use Xdebug, it is not working and Xdebug doesn't stop at the breakpoint. I was guessing that IDE should also reach the container and that part I am not sure and I don't know how to do it..
Anyone already setup this kind of configuration with minikube and PhpStorm / Xdebug?
For xdebug to work, it only needs to connect to client host. there is no need for client (in this case phpstorm) to connect to your pods as well.
I have the same setup using docker for mac. What i did to make it work:
changed xdebug.client_host configuration to host.docker.internal which is defined automatically in minikube /etc/host and can access host machine resources
made sure I have proper xdebug key defined in php.ini xdebug.idekey
made sure I use the xdebug helper extension and have the same idekey defined there
made sure I use 9003 to listen in phpstorm which is the default port for xdebug 3
If you try to debug a script with xdebug_info() in it, it will tell you exactly what Xdebug tried to do, if anything at all.
You can also make a log file by setting xdebug.log=/tmp/xdebug.log and xdebug.log_level=10, and then this log file will show even greater detail as to what went on.
Please note that although a connection can be open, you might not have the right process. Port 9000 is also used by PHP-FPM, which is why Xdebug 3 now uses 9003 by default.

Unable to run Xdebug in PhpStorm, connections are refused - likely due to port 9000 not being open or not being forwarded

I'm trying to debug my PHP code running on a remote server using PhpStorm's Xdebug feature. A few weeks ago I was able to do this on another computer, but I no longer have that computer. I reinstalled and configured PhpStorm and can run SFTP and SSH with the remote server on the new computer. I tried using PuTTY, and was successfully able to use it to SSH Tunnel between the two computers and run Xdebug. But it wasn't a 'good' as the way I was able to do this on the other computer, which didn't need PuTTY.
I believe that the problem has to do with setting up Port-9000 forwarding. I added a rule for this to my BitDefender BOX2 for the local computer I develop on, but I still get refused. The tech at BitDefender thought that there may be another port that needs to be opened/forwarded in addition to port 9000.
Because the PuTTY method works on the new computer, I'm confused. Why does this work with PuTTY, but not directly with PhpStorm (without the help of PuTTY)?
Xdebug only needs port 9000, so that is the only port that PhpStorm will listen on, and Xdebug needs to connect to. I don't know BitDefender, but perhaps you only allowed outgoing connections, and not the incoming ones that you should allow?
Are the two machines on the same network, or is your machine behind a NAT network to the outside world, where your remote machine lives? In that case, you probably can't get around using your SSH tunnel with PuTTY.
You don't mention any settings, but it is worthwhile to check what shows up in the xdebug log file (when configured with xdebug.remote_log=/tmp/xdebug.log on your remote machine). It will show what Xdebug tries to connect to, and whether (and sometimes even why) the connection failed.

Mac Gerrit Setup

Trying to install Gerrit on a Mac that has also Jenkins installed. So far:
Installed MySQL via Brew successfully.
Added user & db for Gerrit to MySQL.
D/l of gerrit.war from https://gerrit-releases.storage.googleapis.com/index.html
Installed gerrit.war into ~/Applications/Gerrit
Set canonicalWebUrl to http://localhost:8080/gerrit/ in gerrit.config
Restart Gerrit with ~/Applications/Gerrit/bin/gerrit.sh restart
But restart fails. There seems to be no consistent Mac Gerrit setup guide whatsoever and I feel I'm stuck with this issue.
Gerrit error_log says:
ERROR com.google.gerrit.pgm.Daemon : Unable to start daemon
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot start HTTP daemon
Has anyone running this config on a Mac and can give me some help?
on a Mac that has also Jenkins installed
Most likely the cause is that Jenkins is already running on the same port (8080). Try to change Gerrit's canonicalWebUrl to another port (or change Jenkins' port).

phpstorm debugging mamp but not my remote server

I have tried many ways to debug my remote server but I am unable to do so. My ftp and sftp and remote db is configures to my phpstorm 9 but I cannot debug my remote server it is connecting to my mamp server and debugging ,y local files but not connecting to server username and password . Basically it fails at mysql_connect but works for mamp.How can I make it deubug with server.Everything else is synced with server but I cannot debug. I really appreciate any help.
Edit: Should I install x-debug on my server(cpanel) also ?
php.ini
[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/local/opt/php55-xdebug/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
Maybe I didn't understand your question/problem. These are the ways you can debug your code
Debug the local code that uses the local database
This is the easiest setup and it probably already works on your system. You have all the files on the local computer and also you have an instance of MySQL running on it. The code connects to localhost:3306, the xdebug extension is installed and it can connect to PhpStorm, everybody is happy.
Debug the local code that uses the remote database
You can have all the PHP files on localhost and use the local mamp stack to debug it; you control the environment, xdebug works and happily collaborates with PhpStorm. You want the code to be able to use the remote (live) database.
In this case you need a way to access the database. Either you create a MySQL user that allows you to connect from the IP address of the local computer (a firewall along the way might prevent this), or start a ssh session that creates a tunnel from the local port 3306 (or any other open port you choose) to port 3306 of the database server (assuming the host where you ssh is allowed to connect to it). You can do this by running
ssh user#remote_host -L 3306:database_host:3306
(replace user, remote_host and database_host with your actual values)
If you have a MySQL server installed and running on localhost then the local port 3306 is not open and ssh cannot use it as the source port of the tunnel. Use another port instead (let's say you use 13306):
ssh user#remote_host -L 13306:database_host:3306
Modify the local configuration files of your application to use localhost as database server and 13306 as database port.
Debug the remote code
If you want to debug the live code (it uses the live database) then you have to upload the code on the web server (the live environment) and make it work there (be able to connect to the database etc).
In order to be able to debug it you need to have the xdebug PHP extension installed on the server and properly configured in the server's php.ini configuration file.
The debugger (the remote xdebug extension) needs to connect to your local computer where PhpStorm is listening on port 9000. This is either impossible or making it happen requires changing configuration here and there in several places (that might be out of your control); we better forget about it.
We can use the ssh tunnel trick: start a ssh connection to the server that creates a tunnel from local port 9000 to the servers port 9000:
ssh user#remote_host -L 9000:localhost:9000
Test if it works
PhpStorm provides a tool that uploads a script on the web server then tries to access it to check if the xdebug extension is properly configured. Depending on the version of PhpStorm you use, you can find it either in the menu (Run -> Web Server Debug Validation, on PhpStorm 9) or somewhere in the Settings (PHP -> Servers or around, on older versions).

I installed PHP and Apache successfully, then when I installed MySQL I encountered frustrating problems

I have looked at lots of forms and threads on this site.
First I installed MySQL using msi installer.
Configuration settings:
- detailed configuration
- developer machine
- multifunctional database
- initial path
- decision support
- enable tcp/icp networking, port 3306, add firewall exception for this port.
- enable strict mode
- best support for multilangualism
- install as windows service, include bin directory
- entered root password.
Then when I clicked execute it freezes after writing the configuration file.
- I closed that window.
Then when I opened MySQL Command Line Client and typed in the root password i get this..
ERROR 2003: Can't connect to to MySQL server (10060)
I then opened up command prompt and typed.
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld --install
got message:
Install/remove of this service denied.
I ran the initial configuration as administrator and I have checked that port 3306 is open.
Hope this is detailed enough.
Thanks.
I would suggesting uninstalling them all and reinstalling them with a package such as LAMP (for linux) or XAMPP (for windows). Much easier to install and set up, tutorials everywhere.
Can you get to the MySQL server instance config wizard in start menu
Is the MySQL service running?
whats the conf file look like?
