Hi, "/var/www" is that your wsl local copy path or your project in the docker container path. Thanks

I followed the instructions, the only difference is that I am actually on Linux, but whenever I try to run xdebug I just get an error that says 9003 is already in use? Any advice?

[potaetoupotautoe]

thanks for the video. just a advice, if you're doing things, let us know the sources of where you found out about the things and the thought process.

Will this work for servers too when I make requests through the browser or through postman?

[lukinkoo]

For many people, &{workspaceFolder} does not work and they have to enter the complete path (like path/to/your/project). It is a known bug, the fix works only for some. This is true both for Windows and Linux.

I am using php5.6 for a legacy code, needs xdebug but I see xdebug.start_with_request is not compatible with that php version. What can I use instead?

[vineethpeddi]

Even after struggling a lot in setting up the debugger I failed. But after watcing this video it worked. Thanks man!. For me, it worked after modifying php.ini file. After modifying, my php.ini file looks like this:

[xdebug]
xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.start_with_request=yes
xdebug.discover_client_host = 1

[matheusrubens]

Damn!

I've spent hours trying to make xdebug work, but i couldn't. With these configs, xdebug started working:
xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.start_with_request=yes
xdebug.discover_client_host = 1
