I’m trying to setup remote debugging via a SSH tunnel (local Windows XP Pro, remote Linux/Apache).

While every thing works as expected when starting the debug session form PhpED or with an URL using the DBGSESSID syntax, I have difficulty to start it via the IE debugger toolbar. Obviously the localhost parameter @127.0.0.1:7869 is not appended to the DBGSESSID and the debugger tries to connect directly without using the tunnel which is not allowed remotely in php.ini. Beside this it would not connect even if allowed, as the local network firewall is not configured for port forwarding.

So where can I set the behaviour of the IE debugger toolbar to use the SSH tunnel?

Thanks for pointing out to this problem.
Soon we'll update IE toolbar to get it ssh-tunnel debugging mode compliant.

I just edited the registry and changed:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NuSphere\Toolbar\Debugger_host
to "localhost"

Now I can debug through the SSH tunnel from the IE Toolbar...

you could update tools->settings->debugger
First to inputs (host and port) are mapped to registry.

My settings under tools - settings - debugger were correct but the value for the host in the
registry was different.
Most likely because i recently got a new PC and copied all settings (registry and .cfg files)
from the old one (IE toolbar never worked on the old box)...
whatsoever, i'm now using the firefox debug toolbar because firefox rulez

btw: did you get my pm about the bug with the broken XML file?
have you downloaded the file so that i can delete it from the server?

yep, sure, not only got the file but also got the problem fixed.
