Guide to PHPStorm + xDebug on Mac?

Question

macOS

Hello! For the third day I've been trying to get xdebug working in PHPStorm on Mac, but the result is the same - #@%#[email protected] I dug up a bunch of sites with various kinds of manuals, but this is either Linux / Windows, or you need to copy it to a folder that doesn’t exist, and comment out lines of text that also don’t exist.
In this regard, the question arose, is there perhaps a guide somewhere that describes the installation>configuration of xdebug in PHPStorm on a Mac from scratch and for 'morons'?
Thank you!

Answer 1

Linux/Windows/Mac, it doesn't matter what you have, everything is configured in approximately the same way everywhere:
1. Install and configure xdebug:
https://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings (you need to understand its settings).
2. PhpStorm is configured:
www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2016.1/configuring...
It's not clear what you are copying and commenting on there. Let's then link to the manuals, according to which something does not work out. And be specific about the problem.
