I tried to run the debugger, and couldn't get it to work. I looked through my php.ini file and discovered, and activated remote xdebug (xdebug.remote_enable=on). I tried to run the debug again in Netbeans, but nothing happens. After I closed netbeans and opened it again, it worked! So i tried to repeat the steps, setting the "remote_enable" flag on and off, and run the debugger. And if you have tried to debug with the flag off, you need to restart netbeans.
