title: Getting Notepad++ DBGp XDEBUG plugin to work on Windows 7 to remote server
body: <p>I'm current running Notepad++ on windows 7 as my primary coding environment. I'm currently looking to debug PHP using the xdebug plugin for Notepad++, DBGp.</p>
  
  <p>Xdebug is set up on the remote server just fine (it's a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server running apache2 and PHP5). A colleague of mine is running Eclipse on SUSE linux and has Xdebug working just fine on it. However, no matter what configs I try I can't seem to get Xdebug working for me on Notepad++.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the following guides to get this working with no joy:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://amiworks.co.in/talk/debugging-php-using-xdebug-and-notepad-part-i/" rel="nofollow">http://amiworks.co.in/talk/debugging-php-using-xdebug-and-notepad-part-i/</a></li>

  </ul>
  
  <p>The main problem with these guides seems to be that they assume people are running a local development environment, which I am not.</p>
  
  <p>My current settings for the DBGp plugin are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>remote server IP: {the server IP}</li>
  <li>IDE KEY: xdebug</li>
  <li>Remote Path: file://Z:/home/garryw/www/idp/650hoursSocialPortal/site</li>
  <li>Local Path: Z:</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have also tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Remote Path: file:///home/garryw/www/idp/650hoursSocialPortal/site</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>with no luck either. I have tried so many combinations of Remote Path, Local Path etc... that I'm not sure what else to try now.</p>
  
  <p>On the remote server xdebug is set to map to port 9002 for my user so in PuTTY I set localhost:9000 to map to {server IP}:9002 but this also had no affect....</p>
  
  <p>I'm now incredibly frustrated and can think of nowhere else to turn to for advice... Any suggestions?</p>
