Cannot install on existing webserver

Hello Folks!
I am running both Ubuntu 10.4 and Centos 5.5 (two seperate machines).  I have webservers running on both using Apache (not tomcat), mysql, joomla, moodle.  I downloaded the alfresco installer and followed the docs.  Here are the main issues besides not getting it to run:
I  have to shut down httpd PRIOR to installing or none of the ports I try will work (default for alfresco is 8080 I can use 8181 or others but only if the webserver is shut down.  the sql port of 3306 will not work, have to amend this to another, and I can not use an alternative port for ftp. It must remain as port 22.  Once I get past the hurdles of ports, it finally says it installed.  Sql has the new DB and all looks fine in that.  When I type in localhost:8181 (or the default) All I get is page cannot be displayed.
Can someone direct me toa doc on  installing Alfresco on an existing Apache server OR, how to get the tomcat installed with alfresco (/opt/alfresco) to play nice with apache and run?
Or, is my only recourse building a separate machine with alfreso as the only thing on it?
I would like to use moodle and joomla with alfresco as it would work best for what I want to do, but I will follow any recommendations.

Thanks!

You might like to start reading here.

Once you get as far as running Alfresco it should start!    If you encounter problems then you must describe the failure and in particular report any errors in tomcat's console or alfresco.log file.
