PhpStorm debugger not stopping at BreakPoints; keeps waiting for xdebug _SESSION_

Updated question : PhpStorm | WebMatrix (IISExpress) | Xdebug.remote_port | — Which Port(s) to put where?


I’m running localhost web server on my Windows machine with WebMatrix and IISExpress. I’ve installed PHP and Xdebug in it and they both are working.

I have a local WordPress install.

I’m now trying to get PhpStorm to debug it using Xdebug.

When I run PhpStorm it launches the web app in the browser with relevant debugging parameters in the browser.

IDE KEY is matching

ide

xdebug.remote_port is configured correctly. (Later I found that this is wrong, but not erroneous. It should be port 9000)

xdebug.remote_port

But it seems Xdebug never gets to communicate with PhpStorm. PhpStorm keeps listening, and the execution runs completely without stopping at any break-points.

Answer

There was a syntax error in php.ini. There were extra "quotes" and ;colons;.

xdebug.remote_port
