[SOLVED] The parameter: client, in function mongoc_client_get

I'm trying to set up a phpfpm, nginx and mongodb stack in docker. I have a strange problem, which only occurs when capturing the request with xdebug. When the request is not captured, the result is as expected, if I try to debug a request, I get this error in the php container:

"The parameter: client, in function mongoc_client_get_uri, cannot be NULL WARNING: [pool www] child 219 exited on signal 6 (SIGABRT) after 171.996764 seconds from start"

This error occurs when trying to create the mongo Manager in vendor/mongodb/mongodb/src/Client.php with this code:

$this->manager = new Manager($uri, $uriOptions, $driverOptions);

The uri passed is correct:

$uri=mongodb://user:pass@mongodb:27017/database

Where user, pass and database have the appropriate values. My mongo php config:

php -i | grep -i "mongo"
mongodb
MongoDB support => enabled
MongoDB extension version => 1.19.3
MongoDB extension stability => stable
libmongoc bundled version => 1.27.2
libmongoc SSL => enabled

libmongoc compression zstd => enabled
libmongocrypt bundled version => 1.10.0
libmongocrypt crypto => enabled
libmongocrypt crypto library => libcrypto
mongodb.debug => stderr => stderr

My php version:

    echo "Connection successful!";
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Error connecting to MongoDB: ' . $e->getMessage();
}

Phpfpm log when request is captured and fails:

2024-07-22 13:59:49 The parameter: client, in function mongoc_client_get_uri, cannot be NULL
2024-07-22 13:59:49 [22-Jul-2024 13:59:49] WARNING: [pool www] child 227 exited on signal 6 (SIGABRT) after 1708.727192 seconds from start
2024-07-22 13:59:49 [22-Jul-2024 13:59:49] NOTICE: [pool www] child 229 started

Without capturing the request the result is "Connection successful!". Capturing the request gives the aforementioned error. Any idea what's going on or how to investigate further?

I have also activated the debug of the MongoDB Extension php extension but I cannot see why this error occurs. I have tried different versions of the mongoc driver, the php extension and the mongo database version and verified that they are compatible.

Thank you.
