I just got PHPStorm and am having trouble getting the live editing (aka: auto refresh) functioning. I've got xdebug setup and running.

I've tried googling: https://www.google.com/search?q=phpstorm+live+edit+guide

and found very little that was helpful... How can I setup live editing and ensure it works?

P.P.S. Apparently plugin bundled with 5.0.1 version had some issues. If it affects you, consider trying EAP build of 5.0.2: confluence.jetbrains.net/display/WI/Web+IDE+EAP –  LazyOne Sep 26 '12 at 8:58

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the links for reference. –  vascowhite Oct 28 '12 at 20:09
This second link is what I had to do. –  Webnet Mar 7 '13 at 0:22
