ItemDescription
Name In this text box, type the name of the server debug configuration.
Host In this text box, type the name of the host where the target application is deployed.
Port In this text box, type the port to connect to the specified host through. If you are using localhost on your machine, this setting should correspond with the port specified in the configuration file of the local Web server where the application will be executed or debugged.
Debugger From this drop-down list, select the debug engine to use. The available options are:
  • XDebug
  • Zend Debugger
Use path mappings
  • Clear this check box to have IntelliJ IDEA suggest mappings between files and folders deployed on the server and their local copies. When you start a debugging session, IntelliJ IDEA will try to detect the local copies of the application files on the server. The suggestions are displayed in a dialog box where IntelliJ IDEA asks you to confirm or edit suggested mappings.
  • Select this check box, to specify correspondence between files on the server and their local copies manually. Then map files and folders on the server to their local copies using the Path on server and File/Directory fields respectively.
File / Directory This read-only field displays the local folders of the current project in a tree view. Select a file ot a folder to be used as the local copy.
Path on server In this filed, specify the file or folder on the target server to which the selected local file or folder corresponds. Type the path manually or select it from the drop-down list. When this file or a file from this folder is being processed during a debugging session, IntelliJ IDEA opens its local copy chosen in the File / Directory field.
