Ah, it looks like you are getting closer. Damn, I should have first
asked about checking that Xdebug was actually enabled! I'm glad you have
confirmed that it certainly is. Also, do a php -i | grep xdebug or do
phpinfo() in a browser or something to confirm that it is really picking
up on the Xdebug INI settings you have set.

Okay, if you are using PHPStorm you will definitely want to go to the
top menu bar and select *Run -> Web Server Debug Validation*. This nifty
tool will tell you /exactly/ what is out of sorts as far as the IDE can
tell.

Also, go to *File -> Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> PHP ->
Servers* and make sure you have a server configuration for this project.
However, it will probably pick up on a lot automatically since the web
server is so local.
