How to enable xdebug on HHVM 3.3.0?

Question

I'm trying to setup remote debugging for my virtual Ubuntu 14.04.

I've enabled xdebug on my HHVM 3.3.0 by adding this to the server.ini:

hhvm.xdebug-not-done.enable=1
hhvm.xdebug-not-done.remote_enable=1

But it doesn't work for me. Should I perform any other moves to make it work?

HHVM 3.3 is no longer supported, however since HHVM 3.4 you don't need the -not-done in your configuration (Yes, It's stable!). For example

xdebug.enable=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.idekey="PHPSTORM"
xdebug.remote_host="localhost"
xdebug.remote_port=9089

@Oxwivi I found most of these in the xdebug docs, if you want it working with Eclipse, you must tweak your xdebug helper to change the IDE key to eclipse, and set that same IDE key in your Eclipse and HHVM configuration. – Annmaria

Eclipse doesn't let setting idekey without defining a proxy. I defined enable, remote_enable and connect_back. Since I'm running xdebug in a VM, I set connect_back as it overrides remote_host... except it's not working. I guess it's time to ask a new question. Thanks for the help. – Isotherm
