How to debug PHP with netbeans and Xdebug

I have recently tried to get going with Netbeans 6.5 after it rated so highly in the IDE review by Smashing magazine. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/02/11/the-big-php-ides-test-why-use-oneand-which-to-choose/

My main reason for switching from Notepad++ is that I'd like to be able to debug my code and set through it.

I have followed the instructions about how to install xdebug from both the vendor http://xdebug.org/ and the netbeans web site. http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/debugging.html#gettingReady but to no avail.

How is it done, has anyone else got debugging working in netbeans?

(My setup is: Windows XP, Wamp server 2.0, PHP 5, Netbeans 6.5.1)

When running netbeans under Ubuntu, I was facing this issue too, it seems that I have tried all solutions found in internet but all in vain.

The only thing that finally helped was running netbeans with SUDO command! Looks like regular user didn't have permission to listen on port 9000 (or any other).

sudo netbeans &

...and voila, I can debug again! Maybe it'll save you a day or two
