I am using:
WAMP
PHP 5.3
XDebug
NetBeans
I want to debug and have the debug port in Netbeans set as 9000 (after following various tutorials, including this one --> Xdebug And Netbeans Problem ). The problem is, I'm unsure as to the purpose of the port 9000.
Does debug port 9000 mean that I must run Wamp on port 9000?
You don't run Wamp on port 9000: it's NetBeans that runs on port 9000!
Your debug client (NetBeans, in this case) needs to listen for incoming connections so Xdebug is able to establish a connection and send the apporpriate info. Please note that there're two requests involved:
Someone (possibly NetBeans) connects to the web server to request the HTML document and start a debug session.
Xdebug connects to whoever requested the debug session (NetBeans) and sends some XML with variables and other debug info.
Details can vary depending on your settings but this is the general idea.
The port you choose is irrelevant as far as:
It's available (no other app is using it) at this moment.
It's reachable from the web server (no firewall / router issues).

I am running Xdebug extension on PHP webserver (IIS), and VSCode on different development machine.
When I start listening for Xdebug session in VSCode (with Felix Becker's PHP Debug) without proxy, everything works as expected.
Now I am trying to use dbgpProxy because there are multiple devs on the development machine.
I have tried to run dbgpProxy on the webserver and register to it by activating proxy settings in VSCode, but it fails with Connection refused. At the same time, Xdebug connects to the proxy just fine and proxy tries to forward incoming session based on IDE key but of course cannot find it because the registration failed.
So I tried running dbgpProxy on the development machine. This time VSCode registered successfully with the proxy, but when Xdebug tried to connect to the listening proxy, it failed.
I was pretty sure I knew what I was doing, ports were open, everything SHOULD work but it didn't.
It turned out to be a problem in the IP addresses.
I ran the proxy with default settings, which is localhost (127.0.0.1) for both server and client part with respective ports 9000 and 9001. Which was wrong (for my situation).
To listen to the incoming connections from another machine, proxy has to be configured with real IP address of the machine it is running on, otherwise it won't listen.
In my case I have decided to run the proxy on the server, so I run it with just one parameter for the incoming client connections and leave the server parameter default (which is 127.0.0.1:9000 and of course configure XDebug in php.ini to this address and port).
dbgpProxy.exe -i 10.123.54.76:9001
I installed Eclipse and the Jboss Tools plugin with Wildfly.
I can run Wildfly in Eclipse in non-debug mode with no problems. But when I start Wildfly in debug, I can use it for a few minutes, and then it suddenly stops processing, the server ends.
I checked the log and there's nothing. What could be wrong?
Please note the JBoss Tools 4.9.0 is validated against 2018-09 but not against 2018-12.
Do you see something in the server log when the server dies ?
We had this issue and it was because we changed our config to close the management port, which had been used to detect that the server had started. Eclipse could no longer detect that the server had started, so it shut down the process after a set time (450 seconds)
To resolve the issue, we did the following in the Eclipse's Overview panel for our JBoss Server:
Changed the Start Timeout to 30, so it would only fail if it actually couldn't start in 30 seconds rather than waiting for 450
Changed our "Server State Detectors" to detect a Web Port for Startup Poller and Process Terminated for Shutdown Poller.
Changed the Server Ports to match our new configuration
Excerpt from JBoss Community Archive
The tooling was unable to verify your server started. Our tooling has several methods to see if your server is up or not. The two most-often used methods are either "Web Port Poller" or "Management Poller".
You can see which your server is using by opening the server object (In Servers view, double-click your server) and on the right side you'll see a section on polling.
If your server adapter (fancy word for the tooling's representation of your server) is using the Management Port Poller, you should make sure your server is actually exposing the management port. For local servers this shouldn't be an issue, since local servers should automatically expose the management port. You may want to verify in the Ports section (also in the server editor) that the management port is correct. To check if the server is up, we run a management command against the server. If the server responds properly, we declare the server to be started.
If you're using the web port poller, then you may want to verify your web port is correct. To verify the server is up, the Web Port Poller opens a URL connection on {serverHost}:{webPort} and sees if we get a valid connection.
I'm trying to debug a Drupal 7 app with Xdebug. My app resides remotely in a server with Ubuntu running Apache.
In Netabeans, I started a proyect with "Application From Remote Server", connected with SFTP.
In the remote server I have installed Xdebug as zend_extension, also i configured xdebug.remote_connect_back=1, xdebug.remote_autostart=1, etc... I've tried everything with no luck.
The log from Xdebug has entries like this one:
Log opened at 2014-12-24 13:01:31
I: Checking remote connect back address.
I: Remote address found, connecting to 181.175.73.24:9000
E: Time-out connecting to client. :-(

Based on the log it seems that my computer is not visible from outside on port 9000. But port 9000 in my laptop is opened, listening, with Netbeans, that's what happens when a debug sessions starts.
I think it's a problem with my ISP. My IP is not only for me, so I can't manage it's ports or other configuration. I think my PC is not visible from outside.
So, the question is, how can I avoid this limitation? What could I debug my APP from my computer on a remote server?
Every answer is welcome. Using a program, using a service, both... I tried using pagekite but honestly I couldn't find a configuration that works for me.
Thanks everyone.
PD: I don't want Xdebug alternatives that don't do step by step debugging.
PD2: My Xdebug config is attached.
remote_connect_back won't do it for you, it just tries to connect to the public ip, it's nothing magic.
Can you ssh on the remote server ? You might want to try port forwarding over a reverse ssh tunnel.

Already, I've checked at least 20 resources and am out of ideas:
I have a clean, remote Ubuntu EC2 instance, fresh from the AMI, having stopped only to install LAMP, phpmyadmin, and xdebug on it. Yes, I have configured my remote EC2 instance's php.ini file as follows:
Meanwhile, back on my laptop I have Netbeans & Eclipse installed. While I can get either to seamlessly upload and Run my php web app on my EC2 site (via SSH/SFTP) as soon as I hit "Debug" from either, index.php gets uploaded, a browser window opens, and then NOTHING HAPPENS. The page doesn't load, the Debug perspective doesn't open, breakpoints don't get triggered, nothing. Netbeans just hangs out saying "waiting for connection" whereas Eclipse just sits at the notorious 57% level (& yes, I toggled the xdebug.idekey before testing with Eclipse)).
So I tested xdebug's functionality on my server according to the instructions found here and here (both passed). I tried changing to port 9001 (in remote php.ini as well as in local Netbeans/Eclipse), I even tried launching this brand spanking-new EC2 instance with pretty much open Security group settings (SSH=0.0.0.0/0), but nothing seems to be working. I am out & out flummoxed, a self-confessed noob, and appreciative of any insight seasoned professionals in the community may have to offer.
Thanks,
Debbie
This feels like a networking issue to me. Port 9000 may not be accessible. The quickest way to test is to telnet to port 9000 on the remote system (if you have a telnet client installed that allows you to specify which port to telnet to). If the telnet attempt times out or is closed by the remote system you will see the error and this verifies that there is a networking issue.
I would check /etc/services to make sure that port 9000 is not reserved for use of something else. If port 9000 exists and is uncommented then something else is using the port and that services does not know how to respond to your request so it hangs.
I would do a netstat (lookup params to see "all" listening ports) and make sure the remote system is listening on port 9000. If you don't see port 9000 then the remote system is not configured to establish the connection.
If you are on a WIFI network then port 9000 may need to be port forwarded to the remote system using the internal cable modem configuration menu/utility. This is the scenerio I favor because I've wasted so much time solving this kind of problem with different software.
Good luck, you have more troubleshooting ahead of you and different questions to ask to resolve your problem.
I have used Eclipse 3.4 to create a Dynamic Web Project. I have also configured my server to use port 8443 with ssl. If I start my server I can access my test.jsp by going to it's address
https://localhost:8443/TestContext/test.jsp
In eclipse, I have installed this server and added my project to the server. If I Run test.jsp it always launches as
http://localhost:8080/TestContext/test.jsp
My question is: How can I set up eclipse to run this on https://localhost:8443/ rather than the default 8080? Thanks in advance.
You should have a project called "Servers". There your tomcat should have its folder - for example "Tomcat 6.0.20 at localhost-config". There is server.xml there, in which you can enable SSL.
When you enable the SSL, the server accepts requests on port 8443 as well as on 8080. The server is not run on a port - it accepts connections on multiple ports. So just type https://localhost:8443/
