I’m trying to get php debugging working with xdebug using Netbeans but I’m getting a Socket Exception thrown in netbeans. It correctly stops at the breakpoint, but when I click to ‘step over’ or ‘step into’ or anything, it will display the socket exception and crash. Any help here would be much appreciated, I’ve spent a great deal of time trying to resolve this.
The environment I’m running is:
Mac OSX 10.7.4
Netbeans IDE 7.2
MAMP Version 2.1.1
php5.4.4
xdebug
From phpinfo:
This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies
with XCache v2.0.0, Copyright (c) 2005-2012, by mOo
with Xdebug v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2012, by Derick Rethans
From php.ini:
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_log="/Applications/MAMP/logs/xdebug_remote.log"
zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/xdebug.so"
The output from my IDE Log when the exception occurs is as follows.

You’re running an old (and known broken) version of Xdebug. You want to use the latest (2.2.1 at the moment). And secondly, XCache is known to interfere with Xdebug as well, so you will want to disable that too.
