Incoming Connection dialog

The dialog is available only when the PHP plugin is enabled. The PHP plugin is bundled with PhpStorm and activated by default. If the plugin is disabled, enable it on the Installed tab of the Settings | Plugins page, as described in Managing plugins.

The dialog opens when you initiate a Zero-Configuration debugging session without previously configuring a Debug Server with path mappings, so the debugger cannot set correspondence between the scripts in the running application and the files in your PhpStorm project.

The upper part of the dialog is read-only and shows the host and port where the script is executed, the path to the script relative to the server document root, and the absolute path to the script on the server.

In this dialog, either specify the path mappings manually or import them from the relevant deployment configuration. Learn more at Create a PHP debug server configuration, Configure synchronization with a server, and Zero-configuration debugging.

To continue debugging with the imported or manually specified configuration settings, click Accept.
