It would be nice to know what you are trying to set up? ie Apache.

The remote server is an Apache. I just want to set the site on my own computer so that I can test it.

Check this to install an Apache server with PHP and My Sql.
To make it work with Dreamweaver, your site folder needs to be in the local root folder ie. www on your computer. (This folder should be set when you install your server) In Dreamweaver you must define a new site. Click Site, New Site. Click the Advanced tab, in the Category box, select Local info, in the Site Name box enter your site name. In the Local root folder box click on the folder icon and browse to your site folder in the www folder. Click Open, Select. Your path should read something like 'C:\wamp\www\my site name\'. Do not make any other selections on this page.
Select Testing Server in the Category box. In the Server model box select Php MySql. In the Access box select Local/Network. A new box will open with the path to your site folder. In the URL prefix box add the name of your site folder (http://localhost/your site folder)
Click ok and you should be able to see your pages in the browser as a localhost page.
