Why is xdebug not working in PHP Storm?

Question

xdebug

Hello! Please advise how to deal with the error.

What we have: 1. Installed webstorm. 2. Xdebug. 3. An extension for the xdebug browser. 4. PHP 8.
But Xdebug doesn't work in the browser.
The error is: Cannot accept external Xdebug connection. $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] is empty, it may be caused by web server misconfiguration.

As I understand it, you need to add a parameter $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] to the web server settings.
Yes, but where does the webstorm have a web server? What file should I put in? That's the question.
