Hello, this is my first day with Xdebug, i’m using phpstorm as my ide and would like to know on how i can integrate it with Xdebug. i already browse some topic related with this, but can’t find issue that like mine. My problem is the Xdebug configuration button under utilities is greyed out

When i hover on the button, it has warning Xdebug is not compatible with preferred sites (see my screenshot here: [https://www.screencast.com/t/vYbJhs7Jy](https://www.screencast.com/t/vYbJhs7Jy))

i already set my phpstorm project on /app/public folder…

What else should i do ?

Thanks

HI,

Best regards,

The button doesn’t appear to be in later versions of Local, which is a shame.

Maybe @clay could let us know why this is.

Anyway, moving onto the reasoning, Xdebug only is enabled on custom environments at the moment.

Thanks,

Phill
