Can alfresco be installed on an Existing Web Server

Can Alfresco be installed on an existing web server that already runs, Linux, and Apache along with My SQL? We have attempted to install Alfresco using SSH on the server and it appears that all installs correctly however there is not path to access the software and from what we have read tomcat seems to be a stand alone Web Server. Is there a magic trick once all the files are installed to gain access and get the system working.

We installed the .bin for Linux. Ran the setup using SSH (Putty), command line the start up of alfresco and tomcat which said was successful then tried to access the software using the domain:8080, as well as the ip address:8080, but it returns 404 page not found. Is there a step missing or is the tomcat conflicting with Apache?

Is tomcat running?   You should see the tomcat welcome page on ip address:8080.    And if tomcat is running is there a firewall between you and the server?

Assuming that you can see the tomcat welcome page please note that Alfresco Explorer's URL is ip address:8080/alfresco.

Alfresco needs to run on an Application Server like Tomcat, WebSphere or JBoss so you configure Apache HTTP server to forward to Apache Tomcat.
