Connecting to Zend Debugger on remote server

I am having great difficulty connecting to the zend debugger on a dreamh开发者_运维百科ost account. I get the following error message.

Failed to connect to host '192.168.11.7'. Failed to connect to host '192.168.56.1'. Failed to connect to host '127.0.0.1'.

Is this a problem with the debugger not being able to connect to my local machine? Do I need to forward a port on my router perhaps?

I have also added my external ip to the allowed hosts but to no avail.

Any hints much appreciated, thanks

Is XDebug enable on Dreamhost - not sure it is. You can port forward using an SSH shell, Check here
