Hi @Xyy23330121, thanks for taking the time to report this!

Cannot use Visual Editor

Why not?

Editors not working.

What makes you think so? What exactly does happen?

Visual Editor
When I click the link to the visual editor:
http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=Homepage&veaction=edit
a progress bar shows on the page and started loading, and the bar stopped.
After waiting for a few minutes, I'm sure that visual editor won't be loaded.

Code Editor
And when I click the link to the code editor:
http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=Homepage&action=edit
It seems fine, but if I make some edits and save my changes by click the link:
http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=Homepage&action=submit
Chrome shows an error page says "This site can’t be reached", "The connection was reset" with the error code: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.
When I go back to http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=Homepage, all the edits I made seems lost.

What is shown in the network tab and the console tab of your web browser's Developer Tools when you visit the URL http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=Homepage&veaction=edit&debug=true ?

Chrome shows an error page says "This site can’t be reached", "The connection was reset" with the error code: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET.

That sounds like a configuration issue and not like a software bug... Is there anything in the log of the server software?

The console tab shows:

load.php?debug=1

If the only error is still Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET then the problem seems to be lower in the stack than MediaWiki itself.
Please bring this up in a support forum - see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Communication . Thanks a lot!
