The option for the Sharepoint 2013 workflow platform is not available because the workflow service is not configured on the server

Question

I am trying to create a workflow with sharepoint designer and the new sharepoint 2013 workflow option, however I got this: The option for the Sharepoint 2013 workflow platform is not available because the workflow service is not configured on the server

I have followed all steps here to install workflow manager, and workflow manager tools: http://levalencia.wordpress.com/2014/02/19/installing-sharepoint-2013-workflowmanager-and-workflowmanager-tools-in-an-offline-environment/

Then I configured it by following this:

http://www.spjeff.com/2013/03/27/configuring-workflow-manager-1-0-on-sharepoint-2013-screenshots/

All steps were correct, no errors.

I tried restarting the server as mentioned here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/2c260d6a-34e8-43b5-805c-1f1f00c88563/sharepoint-designer-2013-workflow-platform-is-not-available?forum=sharepointcustomization

Still issue is not solved.

In central admin, on manage service applications, it says: Workflow is Connected in IIS, the new website and app pools are all started.

One thing is that I made the register-spworflowservice with localhost instead of the servername, is that maybe the issue? please note I am not using SPD from inside the server, but from outside it.

Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite http://myintranetdomain.com -workflowHostUri http://localhost:12291/ -AllowOauthHttp

This guy mentions something about a feature that wasn't enabled because of use a blank Site Template, have you tried this ?

Enable-SPFeature -Identity WorkflowServiceStore –Url $yourUrl
