I am using windows 8, Netbeans 8.2, php 5.6, Apache and mysql. I installed them manually and did not use all-in-one package like WAMP.
When I click on debugging icon (Ctrl+F5) it gets stuck on "waiting for connection (netbeans-xdebug)" while shows the page completely without stopping at the break points.
I reviewed all the possible solutions but none of them worked for me. Such as:
- Changing the remote_host from "localhost" to 127.0.0.1 or even to the ip address of my machine
- Changing the port from 9000 to different ports. Also checking the "Session-ID = netbeans-xdebug"
- Setting the default "web browser" on Netbeans
- Checking https://xdebug.org/wizard.php and following the instruction
- Setting the date.zone in php.ini
- Checking the firewall (as far as I could find my firewall does not block the connection)
- Restarting httpd.exe (Apache) and netbeans and browser
Here are some info which gained from my system:
From https://xdebug.org/wizard.php:

Last but not least in php.ini there was no [Xdebug] section!! there was some lines but as a separated section like some people said there was nothing so at the end of file I added these lines:
[xdebug]
zend_extension = php_xdebug-2.5.0rc1-5.6-vc11-x86_64.dll
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.remote_host = "localhost"
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
I appreciate any suggestion.
Do not use xdebug 2.5 RC on Windows -- it has issues (does not work -- regardless what IDE is used, be it NetBeans or PhpStorm).
Use stable xdebug 2.4.1 for now.
[xdebug]
xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
istead of
[xdebug]
xdebug.remote_host = "localhost"
