You can access Tomcat directly via http://localhost:8888/ This will serve whatever files are in c:\openbd\tomcat\webapps\ROOT. If you want to serve up files in another folder, you will need to make some virtual host mappings in Tomcat's server.xml file. This is where Jordan's Installer connected to IIS (in your isntance) really helps out because it takes care of part of this process for you. If you want to completely bypass IIS, you will need to uninstall IIS and then set Tomcat to run on port 80 instead of 8888. There are pros and cons to both ways on a Windows machine.
Turn on debugging for your ColdFusion server and when you get the OBD 404 page, look at the CGI.PATH_TRANSLATED variable. This will tell you what OBD is looking for. If this isn't lining up to what it should be, then Tomcat is looking in the wrong place.
