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

Answer 1

I faced the same issue to get xdebug worked in virtualbox ubuntu machine with Netbeans.

PHP version 7.4

Changed following file

"/etc/php/7.4/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini"

and added following lines

zend_extension="/usr/lib/php/20190902/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.remote_log = "/var/log/xdebug.log"

Plese note that the line below consists double quotes for defining the path.

zend_extension="/usr/lib/php/20190902/xdebug.so"
