Problem adding PHP remote interpreter (vagrant): "Vagrant Instance Not Running" (but it is running)
I'm trying to get xdebug working in PHPStorm 8.0.3 inside my Vagrant box.
I've got Vagrant running. I can use Tools-->Vagrant--Up to start up Vagrant. The vagrantfile is in the root directory of the project. I know it's working, because I can access the site in my browser via localhost:8888.
While following instructions to get xdebug working, one thing I need to do is set up a remote interpreter for PHP. So, Preferences-->Languages & Frameworks->PHP, then click the three dots next to Interpreter, then the plus sign, then choose Remote..., then vagrant.
It spins for a bit, then gives me an error popup "Vagrant Instance Not Running - Do you want to launch vagrant instance at (path to my project)?" If I click yes, it comes right back with the same error message.
If I go to my terminal, navigate to my project root, then type "vagrant ssh", I get right in.

It's not really likely, but please confirm that
vagrant statusreports that the VM is running.If it does, please add
#com.jetbrains.phpto Help | Debug Log Settings, restart PhpStorm, try to add the interpreter again and then collect and upload the IDE log somehwere.On a side note, you can configure the interpreter via SSH directly,
vagrant:vagrant@localhost:2222.Also, since you're running a site there, why would you need a remote interpreter? Aren't you going to run your code with the web server in the VM?
Ok, log is here.
Also, vagrant status confirms vagrant is running.
As for your question about needing a remote interpreter: I'm trying to get xdebug working within PHPStorm for the site that's running in the VM. I'm following the steps outlined on this page.
Oh wow, you're using 8.0.3 on Oracle JDK. Please uninstall your PhpStorm version and install it back using this installation. Is it better?
OK, now I can say for sure you don't need the remote interpreter at all. The page describes it for no reason.
What you need is to disable
xdebug.remote_connect_back, set appropriatexdebug.remote_host(it should be an IP the VM can use to connect to the host machine), and then follow this guide to start a debugging session:https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/Zero-configuration+Web+Application+Debugging+with+Xdebug+and+PhpStorm
Ok, that worked...thanks! You were right - no need for the remote interpreter.
