title: PHPStorm cannot see PHP interpreter for Windows Guest using Vagrant
body: <p>Due to a legacy project, I am running <code>Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard</code> with <code>Ampps</code> using <code>Vagrant</code>. This is the environment I am stuck using for now...</p>
  
  <p>My issue is that I cannot seem to get PHPStorm to see the interpreter. When I go to the interpreter settings, I select Vagrant and I can choose my vagrant directory that contains the vagrant file and set the local location of the php.exe file. It just gives me an error saying: </p>
  
  <pre><code>PHP Version: Not installed
  Debugger: Not installed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to verify the interpreter, I get the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Can not update phpinfo: Can't connect to remote host ssh://vagrant@127.0.0.1:22C:\Ampps\php\php.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would assume the issue is that PHPStorm is connecting using <code>ssh</code> instead of <code>rdp</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any work-a-round for this or is this not possible?</p>
