I can’t seem to get xdebug working with Slim. Any ideas on how this can be done/setup? Note: Although I have not had issues yet, I would like to be able to step through the code when needed. So, if there is something other than xdebug to use with Slim, I’m all ears.

Thanks

I have the same problem. Need to go through the code but seems to be looping through the index file.

How can i configure Netbeans and Xdebug for that ? (also i have running my Xdebug but cant get it work with slim framework)

Make sure that Xdebug is installed and all settings are correct. Here are some good installation instructions:

Then change the Netbeans debugging options like this:

Thanks for the information and support.  
I have reviewed it and also reviewed:  
[https://stuporglue.org/setting-up-xdebug-with-netbeans-on-windows-with-a-remote-apache-server/](https://stuporglue.org/setting-up-xdebug-with-netbeans-on-windows-with-a-remote-apache-server/)

My Server is: PHP Version 7.0.25-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

1. I have installed XDEBUG in my Ubuntu server, following the instructions of [https://xdebug.org/wizard.php](https://xdebug.org/wizard.php)  
 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/slimframework/original/1X/1e8f1c8f6b71241ed5fa603ea49d36d350d17dc8.png)

Also, i have added the following: sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/xdebug.ini

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/slimframework/original/1X/8bb131239e1836e1e4e55907505998b9733cf2e5.png)

Restart: `sudo systemctl restart php7.0-fpm` and `sudo service nginx restart`

1. After that in my phpinfo() i get:  
 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/slimframework/original/1X/2ab29de7f59c7d808e8aa2332d7a1574215eb6d0.png)

**The following steps were done in my laptop with WINDOWS 8.1**  
3) Then i have configured my Netbeans 8.2

1. And my Putty  
 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/slimframework/original/1X/aad8d48a97bcb9383ed79f0a49dd6fa496de4170.png)

1. After that, my Netbeans is connected  

2. After that, no matter what i do (F5, F7, F8), it loops through my public/index.php

Any idea of how to debug the controllers behind my INDEX.php ?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Please compare your settings with this screenshot.

- Disable all checkboxes
- Set `output_buffering = Off` in your php.ini file
- Try to debug on your localhost first

Hi Odan,  
Thank you very much, now, after several tests, its working with your last instructions

1. I have modified the server configuration as follows: `sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini`  
 ![output_buffering](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/slimframework/original/1X/ea3c485bc7caa9e792525ed32ca1c53d9769dd10.PNG)

And after that: `sudo systemctl restart php7.0-fpm`

The result:

1. In my laptop:

The only difference was in the Session ID. But i left it because it matches with the one in my phpinfo(), as follows:

Note: Also, an additional post with TUNNELING, in order to avid forwarding ports, and avoiding firewalls
