I'm using PhpStorm and laravel 5. I have done the following steps below and have my laravel 5 project open. What must i do now to start debugging? I do not know the next steps in this process on the phpStorm side.
Instructions
Download xdebug-2.3.1.tgz
Unpack the downloaded file with tar -xvzf xdebug-2.3.1.tgz
Run: cd xdebug-2.3.1
Run: phpize (See the FAQ if you don't have phpize.
As part of its output it should show:
Configuring for:
...
Zend Module Api No: 20100525
Zend Extension Api No: 220100525
If it does not, you are using the wrong phpize. Please follow this FAQ entry and skip the next step.
Run: ./configure
Run: make
Run: cp modules/xdebug.so
Edit /etc/php.ini and add the line
zend_extension = /xdebug.so
Restart the webserver
