How do you setup a multi-developer XDebug PHP environment. I have a linux machine with Apache and Xdebug loaded and a php.ini file that I think is correct. I found a python proxy script that I'm using to proxy the calls from the PDT Eclipse IDE's my developers are using to the Apache/Xdebug running on the same web server. I set the idekey in php.ini to "ECLIPSE_DBGP" and for Xdebug to autostart but from the log information from the proxy it says that there is no server with the key "ECLIPSE_DBGP" and it stops the request. Has anybody run into this or has a step by step setup to get this to work? I have exhausted what I have found using google.

A:
You can use ssh to tunnel the debug-connection back to your client machine. Eg. from your client machine, connect to the server with something like:
ssh -R 9000:localhost:9000 [email protected]
Then fire up your (local) debugger, and start the remote script. Xdebug (at the server) will now establish a connection to its localhost:9000, but since this port is forwarded back to your local machine, your (local) debugger will receive the connection.
If you use Windows on your client side, you can do the same thing with PuTTY.
See the documentation for Spectator for some more details.

I found a good explanation about setting up a proxy for DBGp on the site of Derick Rethans, who is the author of Xdebug!
