Configuring XDebug with MAMP[edit]

Prerequisites[edit]

These instructions are for Mac OS X (actually tested on version 10.9.2 Mavericks) with installed MAMP Application (actually tested on MAMP version 3.0.4).

Configuration Instructions[edit]

  • Open finder and navigate to
 /Applications/MAMP/conf/<selected php version>/

(NOTE: <selected php version> is the PHP version that you have selected in the MAMP configuration)

  • Open the file php.ini with a text editor such as TextWrangler
  • Find the section [xdebug]
  • Uncomment the line
 
 [xdebug]
 ;zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/<selected php version>/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/xdebug.so"

by removing the semicolon character at the beginning of the line.

  • Add after the line the following text, if not already existing
 
 xdebug.remote_enable=on
 xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
 xdebug.remote_host=localhost
 xdebug.remote_port=9000
  • Save changes and close the editor
  • Restart your MAMP Server

Note: You can set a different port number if you need.
