+=== Configure Xdebug ===
+You have to configure Xdebug for the specific PHP version that you want to debug with, so you'll have to adapt the following with the corresponding location.
+In this case we'll configure our PHP version 5.6.27 to debug from Atom. First we'll edit our ''php.ini'' file:
+<code>
+> sudo nano /opt/phpfarm/inst/php-5.6.27/lib/php.ini
+PASTE AT EOF (removing any existing [xdebug] lines):
+[xdebug]
+zend_extension = "/opt/phpfarm/inst/php-5.6.27/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/xdebug.so"
+xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "/tmp/xdebug"
+xdebug.trace_output_dir = "/tmp/xdebug"
+; additional settings (atom)
+xdebug.remote_enable=1
+xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
+xdebug.remote_mode=req
+xdebug.remote_host=172.20.20.2
+xdebug.remote_port=9000
+xdebug.idekey=xdebug.atom
+xdebug.remote_autostart=true;
+xdebug.collect_params=4
+xdebug.collect_vars=on
+xdebug.show_local_vars=on
+> sudo service apache2 restart
+</code>
+To make sure those values have been taken into account, load the phpinfo page created earlier and check the //**xdebug**// section to make sure the displayed values are in concordance with the ones you've introduced in the ''php.ini'' file.
+With these settings, PHP will **connect to your editor for every script it executes**. The alternative is to use ''xdebug.remote_autostart=false'', and install an Xdebug helper extension for your browser of choice, such as:
+  * [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/the-easiest-xdebug/|The easiest Xdebug for Mozilla Firefox]]
+  * [[https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xdebug-helper|Xdebug Helper for Google Chrome]]
+These browser extensions will give you a button within your browser to enable/disable Xdebug.
