#Introduction If you're a php developer on ubuntu, there comes the time where you have to install/reinstall your system. I did it already a few times and i decided to write down the steps for a typical web developer stack with php. This is for a developer machine and not for a live environment!
I hope it helps you too!
fyi @mheiniger and me started with an installer here: https://github.com/mheiniger/webdev-setup
#Installation stack

#Debugging with XDebug on Browser and Command line
The example is made for PHPStorm IDE with Apache2 webserver. But other IDE's or webservers should work in a similar way.
- Ubuntu 12.04
- Edit /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini
- Ubuntu 14.04
- with php-fpm ->
sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/xdebug.ini /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
- with apache2 ->
sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/xdebug.ini /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
- with cli ->
sudo ln -s /etc/php5/mods-available/xdebug.ini /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini
- Edit /etc/php5/mods-available/xdebug.ini
- with php-fpm ->
##Configuration
#Edit xdebug.ini
xdebug.remote_enable=On

- Set a breakpoint and run a console command
##PHPStorm Config
#for PHPUnit Code Completion add PHPUnit path under file->settings->directories
#Usually it’s stored in
/usr/share/php/PHPUnit
#for PHPUnit Skeleton Generator add phpunit-skelgen under file->settings->ProjectSettings->PHP->PHPUnit->SkeletonGenerator
#Usually it's stored in
/usr/bin/phpunit-skelgen
