Netbeans won\'t connect to xdebug. I\'ve tried suggestions from the following posts:

Debugging IDE's port connection to XDebug: "Waiting to Connect"

Answer 1

i was facing a similar problem, in my case i had recently update my php version and the xdebug configuration were in the only php5 folder. had simply had to copy the old xdebug configuration to the new php.ini file of the new version and it worked like before.

some of the tips to debug this are:

1. first check if xdebug is install, run (php -v) if xdebug details aren't there then install and add the configuration.
2. open phpinfo() under xdebug category check if xdebug configuration is loaded.Check for the following settings.
