Common options
Item
Description
Focus application on breakpoint
If this check box is selected, on hitting a breakpoint, PhpStorm will show the location of this
breakpoint in the editor and will attempt to bring its frame to the front.
Show debug window on breakpoint
Is this check box is selected, PhpStorm activates the Debug Tool Window on hitting a breakpoint.
Hide debug window on process termination
Automatically hide the Debug window when the
debugged program terminates.
Scroll execution point to center

the screen.
Built-in server
Item
Description
Port
Use this spin box to
specify the number of the port where the built-in web server runs. The port number should be set to
1024 or higher. By default this port is set to the default PhpStorm port through which PhpStorm
accepts connections from services (63342).
Can accept external connections
If this check box is selected, then the files launched on the built-in server running on the specified
port, are accessible from a different computer. If this check box is not selected (by default), then
only local connections are listened to.
Allow unsigned requests
For security reasons, any request to a page on the built-in server from outside PhpStorm is by default rejected and
the following authorization pop-up window is displayed:
To access the requested page, click Copy authorization URL to clipboard
and paste the generated token in the address bar of the browser.
However this behaviour may be annoying, for example, it may block your debugging session if manual intervention is impossible.
To suppress displaying the authorization pop-up window, select the Allow unsigned requests check box.
