Chuck, you're a genius.

sudo lsof -i tcp:1085

-> tells me that wotaskd is listening on the reverse DNS entry for this machine. So when I use that host name in the browser, wotaskd delivers its page. No, it's not password protected. But I didn't realise that wotaskd refuses to respond to the wrong host name-- connection refused.

And because wotaskd is listening on the reverse DNS entry, localhost doesn't work either.

So I changed all the config files to use the reverse DNS name, and at last I can connect to Eclipse via Apache.

Now I have to see what I can do about the virtual hosts.

Just BTW, at the start of /etc/hostconfig it says "this file is going away" and adding HOSTNAME=... to it didn't seem to do anything useful. How am I supposed to tell my development machine that its name should be different to the reverse DNS entry (which is very hard to get changed)?

Regards
Thomas

OK, just to be simple I've removed virtual hosts, without change.

I've tried all sorts of HostName combinations, but I believe that is a red herring.

I believe that the real problem is that wotaskd is not listening on port 1085. I can't connect to it with a browser,

What happens?  Might it be password protected?

and although ps tells me wotaskd was launched with ... -WOPort 1085 ... netstat does not list anything using port 1085.

You can also try

sudo lsof -i tcp:1085
