[xdebug-general] pdt and xdebug issues

Hello,

Firstly I want to say Hi. This is my first post to the list. I am
having an issue with getting pdt to debug my project on a remote
server and any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Allow
me to outline my current architecture and issue:

I have an svn repository on a dev server and checkout / maintain a
working copy on my local machine (macbook pro running os x 10.5
leopard) and use eclipse pdt as my ide of choice. That dev server is
running a vm that has php with xdebug and apache serving my
development code accessible via an internal address. Configuration
files are encapsulated into /etc/php.d of which xdebug.ini is in
there. php -m shows xdebug modules loaded (along with xcache, if that
is important) in both the main and zend section. Below is the
contents of my xdebug.ini file:

zend_extension=/usr/lib64/20060613/xdebug.so
xdebug.idekey=ECLIPSE_DBGP
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=<my client host ip address>
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.profiler_output_dir=/home/foo/profiling
xdebug.remote_log=/home/foo/logs
xdebug.auto_trace=on
xdebug.trace_output_dir=/home/foo/logs/
xdebug.remote_enable=1

In pdt I have set up my php server to default to my internal address
and mapped the server root to my local filesystem root for the
project. I created a new xdebug profile and pointed it to a test
script. When I execute the debug process it sends the following url
to my firefox 3 browser: http://my.internal.addr/test.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=ECLIPSE_DBGP&KEY=122244500054432

PDT pauses at 19% progress and never receives a connection to the host
machine. I have a breakpoint specified and it is not being hit ...
the page is loading completely without stopping. I have my firewall
turned off on the client machine and verified that port 9000 is
listening from eclipse. I verified that I can telnet to my client
machine from the vm to port 9000, so theoretically a connection is
completely possible but it seems as though xdebug is not initiating
the connection based on the GET var in the url.

My contention is that the issue is with the host machine not
initiating a connection, but I'm not sure how I could monitor that.
Since tracing is on, I can verify that trace files are being created
but, interestingly, no log files are being produced. Thank you in
advance for anyone who can help me and let me know if you need more
info.
