Question

I\'m trying to use XDebug in the following scenario

• Physical Host on Windows 7, with Netbeans 7.1.1
• Virtual guest on Ubuntu, with Apache server and PH

Answer 1

Another option is to have the VM configured to speak to its own localhost:9000 (default for xdebug) and then ssh in from host to VM and establish a port tunnel for that port back to the host machine. Then your host machine debugger simply connects to localhost:9000 and everything should work exactly as if they were running on the same machine.
