That’s how I do it:
- sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 10.254.254.254 (create an alias for your mac loopback interface)
- xdebug.remote_host=10.254.254.254 in your xdebug.ini
- configure your ide as usual.
I’ve been using this through several beta versions, never had a problem. Beware of port 9000 conflicts.
