Errors when pairing Workflow Manager 1.0 with Sharepoint 2013 or trying to run C# samples to directly communicate with workflow manager

Question

When I try with Register-SPWorkflowService for SP2013 integration or run C# samples for workflow manager 1.0 I get
"The  remote server returned an error: (404) Not found".
With C# sample code runs,
Scope '/$Activities' was not found.  HTTP headers received from the server - ActivityId: e268765f-9d95-47ed-81fd-c4b38f40bfe0. NodeId: XXXX. Scope: /$Activities/...
The inner exception is:
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
We have got stuck here for a couple of days and...
The workflow server runs on a dedicated machine than the SQL server for workflow farm DBs...
I found one similar complain for the pre-release versions of the workflow and service bus etc.
Help please...

Hi,I had already done disableloopbackcheck and it did not matter.No problem with creating scopes (using powershell) but pairing fails anyway.Here is the config from a local explorer connection to the HTTPS port:(And following it, you may see the result of
a scope enumerator script)
