Unlike many of the posters here, I'm able to get my breakpoints hit when I'm debugging PHP. What is annoying is, since I have configured xdebug in Eclipse to prompt to accept remote sessions (this is necessary since my application is running in a container), I get prompted over and over again whenever I load a page in my browser or otherwise use the application in any way. I've searched a little, but I'm probably not using a good query to get relevant results online and in the documentation; clearly this configuration is not ideal. In my php.ini, I have set only a few settings, I'll include them below.

xdebug.max_nesting_level = 256
xdebug.show_exception_trace = 0
xdebug.collect_params = 0
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1


I'm suspicious of the remote_autostart setting, but in my experiments without it, I can't get a debugging session to connect.

Same problem here on a fresh Debian Buster Eclipse 2019 install Version: 2019-03 (4.11.0)

I defined a distinct local vhost for my application http://app.loc and I can break in it. But if I access any url on http://localhost I'm asked to "Select a path mapping" to /home/www/index.php
If I access http://localhost/phpmyadmin it asks me a path mapping for /usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php

Any solution ?

And more, testing on a really remote server, setting the xdebug.remote_autostart seems to alter the whole web server (Apache2). Debugging one domain, another could not read its CSS files !?
Did not have time to go further. I reset the flag and the other domain can read all his files properly again...

Noone knows anything about that Eclipse/Xdebug problem here ?

Well seems there is nobody on that forum.

For ghosts that may pass in future: Installing the firefox extension xdebug solved the problem for me
