PyCharm remote debugging

Question

I have remote Ubuntu server, and I'm trying set up remote debugging. Configured as shown here.

import sys
import pydevd
sys.path.append('/root/home/scripts/pycharm-debug.egg')
pydevd.settrace('my_remote_server_IP', port=51234,
stdoutToServer=True, stderrToServer=True)

I also connect remote host for synchronizing and uploading my python scripts to remote server. (Tools -> Deployment -> ...)

When I start debugging:

C:\Python27\python.exe C:/Projects/python/demo.py
Could not connect to xx.xx.xx.166: 51234
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PyCharm 2.7.1\helpers\pydev\pydevd_comm.py", line 428, in StartClient
    s.connect((host, port))
  File "C:\Python27\Lib\socket.py", line 224, in meth
    return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
error: [Errno 10061] ����������� �� �����������,

Process finished with exit code 1

How to solve this problem?

Answer 1

The first argument of pydevd.settrace function should be the host, where PyCharm is installed. Not remote server. Also in most cases if you want to run and debug your code remotely it is more convenient to use remote interpreter feature.
