Not sure what I'm doing wrong. webserver is vm on ip 192.168.0.4. Everything goes fine till last step in setup wizard and I get the message cannot connect to client...

Debugger request: "408706733087200009;d=1,p=0,c=1"
Request found in: "$_COOKIE['DBGSESSID']"
Target PHP version: "5.3.x"
Server API: "Apache 2.0 Handler"
Extensions API: "220090626"
Modules API: "20090626"
PHP API: "20090626"

Just a quick guess, but is it a firewall issue and maybe port 7869 needs unblocking?

there are five things to check:
-Windows firewall
-3rd party firewall (sometimes bindled with anti-virus)
-VM connectivity (network settings).
-server firewall (for example iptables in case of unix/linux)
-Linux SE (in case of linux)

If first four things are tuned accordingly, telnet on the server (VM) will establish a connection:

telnet 192.168.0.3 7869

and dbglistener will show "client xx.xx.xx.xx connected"

Last thing - Linux SE can't be checked this way because it's what may distinguish dbg attempting to establish connection from telnet doing the same -- allowing latter and stopping former. To check LinuxSE you need a connection established from a php script or real debugger.

I have verified all the things you asked me to check and I can successfully telnet to the debugging listener from the vm.

But I still get an error when I try from phped

the message I get is Failed to start debug session.
Please make sure the debugger module is installed on the server that corresponds to 192,168.0.4/sl/sl_main.php

and this in the phped window

Is vmware networking getting in the way somehow?

do you run Linux on your VM?
