Angel, the problem is that the "Installing Alfresco on Tomcat" doc indicates that alfresco-community-5.0.c.zip contains a ROOT.war file, but It's not true… I've the same problem…

ROOT.war is not part of alfresco, it's a default webapp from Tomcat. If you don't find it on your Tomcat it doesn't matter.

alfresco.war, share.war and solr4.war must be deployed to tomcat/webapps
"shared" folder must be copied to tomcat root folder
endorsed and lib JAR files must be copied to endorsed and lib in tomcat

And you have to configure access to alf_data folder (you can copy it anywhere) in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties
