I'm not using netbeans as the debug client, only emacs/geben and the commandline debugclient which comes bundled with xdebug. Also, from the docs for the xdebug settings, it's not clear what to set idekey to, or how it's used. I tried changing this to "session" or "debugclient", I still can't get the server to connect.

Even if you're not using Netbeans, the value of the XDebug config setting xdebug.idekey must still match the value set in the commandline the debugger client - in your case it was "netbeans-xdebug". Please set the value of xdebug.idekey to "netbeans-xdebug" in the .ini config file of XDebug and restart your webserver

You should set the value of xdebug.remote_host to the *value* of $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] You can easily find that value in a phpinfo() display.

Don't forget to restart the web server each time a modification was made on the XDebug configuration!
