With PhpStorm and Xdebug you can easily debug your web application right on your server using Remote Debugging. It’s a very convenient way to examine and fix little annoying bugs that often come up very suddenly in a production environment. This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to configure Remote Debugging in PhpStorm using Xdebug.

    Не совсем понял: PhpStorm определил проблемы с настройкой XDebug, после чего ведущий поменял настройки в php.ini, который находился на диске C: и перезапустил веб сервер XAMP, выглядел как локальный web server.

    Я ожидал увидеть какие-то манипуляции с php.ini и apache на удалённом сервере, ведь видео про Remote Debugging!

    You are very attentive, Petr 🙂
    Yes, I used localhost to show how remote debugging works to simplify demonstration because it works absolutely the same way when using remote host. That’s the idea.
    As regards manipulation with php.ini – of course you should change it on remote server as well as restart Apache at remote server, but I didn’t want to detract focus from IDE setup to all that stuff regarding remote connections etc..
    Hope that it still helped you 😉
