Remote Xdebug with VirtualBox

Question

I\'m trying to get remote debugging to work. The PHP is running on a VM and I\'m trying to debug from NetBeans on the host machine.

I\'ve followed the instructions here

Answer 1

My solution to this issue was the following:

1) Enable the port forwarding in the network configuration (using the NAT adapter) I simply used port 9000 and the IP addresses of the host and the guest. Protocol is TCP

2) Configured my xdebug settings: In my case it was important to set xdebug.remote_host = "The permanent host IP" Then everthing worked perfectly.

Hope this helps someone out there.
