WOHost is used for communications with wotaskd. The variable you are thinking of is WOCGIAdaptorURL

If you are using Wonder, it should be taking this from the headers sent by Apache, so it could indeed be an Apache config problem. See ERXRequest:
protected static final NSArray<String> HOST_NAME_KEYS = new NSArray<String>(new String[]{"x-forwarded-host", "Host", "x-webobjects-server-name", "server_name", "http_host"});
