I installed basic XE instead of XEM, but there is no change - my web browser still does not bring up XWiki.
I looked a bit into the http/tomcat connector issue - it seems like this is a likely culprit given that I don't even have access to the Tomcat logs. I assumed that my hosting provider would have installed mod_jk, but now I am not sure. I will check with them about this and making sure 8080 is forwarded through the firewall. If that fails to resolve the problem, I will re-ask with more info.
