Waiting For Connection (netbeans-xdebug) MAMP OS X

Question

Preamble

After many hours, I have been unable to get NetBeans to connect to xdebug. Some months ago, after upgrading from an old version of MAMP to MAMP

Answer 1

On clean download and install of netbeans working on xampp, xdebug worked except would not stop at breakpoints. Changed php.ini to: xdebug.remote_enable = 1 (from 0) and xdebug worked as expected!
