[xdebug-general] Re: Tricky Remote Debugging Set Up

Hello,

I sent this email half complete a few minutes ago. Apologies!

I am trying to set up the ability to debug command line scripts on a guest
VM in an IDE running on the Host machine.

Here are my settings:

zend_extension = /usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.
so
xdebug.var_display_max_depth=7
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.56.1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
html_errors = 1;

I then exported the XDEBUG_CONFIG environment variable as outlined in the
docs:

export XDEBUG_CONFIG="idekey=netbeans-xdebug"

I then run a php script:

php test.php

At this point execution hangs on the guest VM.

On the host machine I have tried the following two things:

1) Start a Netbeans debugging session (right clicking on the project, debug)
    - The PHP script hangs on the guest machine

2) After quiting Netbeans I tried using the bundled debugging client.

I got the following response when restart the php script:

waineb[@]waineb-HP-Z200-Workstation:~/xdebug/xdebug-2.1.1RC1/debugclient$ sudo

This seems to indicate that the xdebug has connected to the client. However
when I issue commands like 'run' or 'status' I get the following error:

(cmd) status
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<response xmlns="urn:debugger_protocol_v1" xmlns:xdebug="

options]]></message></error></response>

Has anyone got any tips on what might be happening here?

Thanks,

Ben
