Chuck, you're a genius.
Yeah, I know. :-P
sudo lsof -i tcp:1085

this machine.
I was wondering about that when you mentioned something about the DNS
not matching. I was hoping this was fixed in WO 5.4. WO is very
sensitive to problems in this area. I suspect, but don't know, that
different developers used different methods of resolving things at
different places in the code. If the reverse DNS does not match the
host name you are trying to use, things just don't work.
That is also a little odd if you have
WOHost=localhost
in the Properties files of wotaskd.woa. It _should_ use that, unless
something else is getting specified on the command line somewhere.
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.
My suspicion is that they will now "just work".
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)?
I don't know the answer to that, OS X sys admin is not my strong
area. Given WO's reliance on reverse DNS, there might not be
anything you can do.

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
