Cygwin reverse shell xdebug Windows 7 Komodo session not working?

Question

I've a webserver with xdebug 2.0.3 and Komodo 6 with Windows 7 64 bit but I can't connect to xdebug? I've tried a reverse shell with cygwin and I can connect to my server however when I try the debugger option in Komodo it gives me an error. In Komodo I've open a remote ftp session to load my file from the host. Normally with Linux it works with a reverse shell.

Edit: It's a bit on top of my head so I'm trying to debug my local virtual machine but Komodo gives me this error couldn't bind to local port 9000 and I don't have a firewall. when I enable debugging in the browser window with my opera extension I get success message client found in my xdebug log and when I load my html page but the connection is closed after the loading and it's not breaking at my breakpoint either. Here is the output from message log:

My webserver is a lighttpd with FastCGI but that shouldn't be the problem because I already got it working with a remote host and a reverse shell but not in Windows 7 and with Vmware or in Vmware? I'm currently reading this post http://forums.netbeans.org/topic1513-30.html and I hope it helps.

Also I cannot see that a server is listening on port 9000. Is this a Vmware problem?

EDIT: I got it working on my virtual machine but I'm still interested in solving this issue:

1. xdebug connecting from host to virtual machine
2. xdebug connecting from host to remote machine (it works for me but only with a reverse shell)
3. xdebug connectiong from virtual machine to remote machine (didn't test it yet)

What can be interesting to is developement in Windows 7:

1. xdebug connecting from Windows 7 to remote machine
2. xdebug connection from Windows 7 to virtual machine

Answer 1

Use the debugger connection preferences to set the IP address of the virtual machine as the debugger proxy. Change the port that Komodo listens to from the default value of 9000 to a system provided free port, 8080, or whatever port your virtual host or localhost is running.
