Netbeans with xdebug not highlighting debugged lines

Question

I finally managed to get xdebug working but now I am facing a strange problem. I can see the variables, I can step through the code but i can't see what line I'm actually debugging. Any ideas?

Answer 1

If you don't see highlighted lines, it's possible that the project settings aren't configured correctly.

E.g. when using a htaccess redirect from the root folder to folder myapplication, be sure to edit Project->Properties->Sources->Web Root to the redirect folder.

That solved the issue for me.

Answer 2

Under Netbeans > Project Properties > Sources, be sure that the Web Root is set right to refer to the directory where the running page is. This could be one of the possible reasons of the problem.
