Incoming Connection dialog

The dialog is available only when the PHP plugin is enabled. The PHP plugin is not bundled with IntelliJ IDEA, but it can be installed on the Settings/Preferences | Plugins page, tab Marketplace, as described in Installing plugins from JetBrains repository.

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 IntelliJ IDEA 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 Web server, and Zero-configuration debugging.

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