Dreamweaver and Php. 'unable to connect'

The error is very common “Unable to Connect”

I have been sorting out in my head why I should be using index.php rather than index.html.
My pages are dynamic so I am using index.html.

I modified my httpd.conf file because it only had index.html

[php]
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

[/php]

I am on a macbookpro 10.8.3 and this Document Root is standard.
Document Root Library/WebServer/Documents
so my path is: Library/WebServer/Documents/dwwdSite

(dwwdSite = DreamWeaverWebDevelopmentSite)

I set up the server settings as shown in the .pngs. Might have to attach them in 2 posts.

So many people know this stuff intuitively. Sorry that I am rusty. (not a novice).

Can someone spot and Explain to me Why I am getting this error. I am really stuck.
When I do this from within Netbeans /localhost/phpWithAlex/index.php I get output in the browser.

It is not working with Dreamweaver.

Thanks.
