[xdebug-general] Re: xdebug

Hi Richard,

I'm not sure why is not working for you but I can notice few differences in
you .ini configuration compared to the one I usually use myself. You can
find it here <https://gist.github.com/debo/b6d212cdb759269de929>.

Also, apologies if I'm asking something that you already mentioned but, did
you ensure that the xdebug is actually loaded and active?

In terms of how to debug, I usually use PhpStorm, I do activate the
listening mode which the telephone shaped icon, then activate the xdebug
helper in the browser in the page I want to debug and then start
interacting with the page itself; also don't forget to add breakpoints or
the debugger won't stop unless you tell it to stop on the first line.

I hope it helps.

Debo
