Tomcat works out of the box, as is, with no modification, assuming you have followed the installation instructions and set a few environment variables. You'll also need the Java SDK from Sun. The URL for a properly, default installed tomcat is http://localhost:8080/. The examples are at http://localhost:8080/examples.
The server.xml included with tomcat is about as basic as you could possibly get. Also, as Edmund Mitchell suggested, if all you are looking to do is serve static pages, you want apache, not tomcat. Tomcat is a servlet container and application server, its strength is serving dynamic content generated by Java Server Pages and Java classes. While it can serve static pages, it's overkill for doing so.
