Nancy I have done all that, I have created Apache 2.4 server on xammp. but i cant access it as I have indicated in the error produced during testing


Define your local testing server in DW.  See screenshots below.  In my example, I'm using Wamp server and my default web directory is www.   Yours is xampp and htdocs.

Servers > Basic tab

Advanced Tab

Final screen

What exactly are you trying to do?

Are you trying to use your remote database to see its content in Dw, or are you trying to upload files to it?

Am getting this message from DW ""An FTP error occurred- cannot make connection to the host. Internal data error. Failed to receive network data." when am trying to connect to my localhost 127.0.0.1:3306. This occurs when I was testing the connection. I earlier explained am using Eset Nod 32 Smart Security 9. I have made all the necessary exceptions, Am also using a router to access my internet. Please not am not trying to use a remote server, am trying to use my localhost.

You do not use ftp to connect to a localhost server on your drive, this is a little old but see -

Can you try the solutions in Troubleshoot FTP issues in Dreamweaver  and let us know if they helped?

Thanks,

I have tried all these methods and I have also uninstalled all Microsoft servers products and IIS, I have made exceptions in the Firewall but still I get the same message.

Filezilla is not connecting either to my localhost.

Filezilla is an FTP client.  It has nothing whatsoever to do with database connectivity.   For that you need server-side code.

Can you please explain exactly what you're trying to do?
