Exchange OWA stopped working after installing Tomcat

I have a window 2003 server running exchange 2003 on IIS 6. Everything worked until I installed Tomcat/Railo on the server.

After the Tomcat install I am unable to reach the exchange server on the OWA. I understand that Tomcat is processing the servlets for railo but I am not sure how it is effecting OWA and how to fix it.

Since this has been running so long I am not sure where the files are to reinstall OWA are.

When I hit the exchange OWA site it does ask me to login but then IIS give me a 404 error

I obviously need to get this up and running since every in the company uses the OWA help!

Added info:

I have added a new virtual directory to the default website that contains an image. I can hit this with no problem so it appears that what is no longer working are the virutal directories originally added by the install.

/exchadmin  \\.\backofficeStorage
/exchange   \\.\backofficeStaorage
/exchweb    C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\ExchWeb
etc

These also appear to be ASP.NET related pages. Is it possible that installing railo/Tomcat messed up the asp processing for this site?

@Gavin Totall put me on the right track for this. What ever happened during the Tomcat install hosed all of the application pool settings for the default site I found this page

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=883380

on how to reset all the default OWA virtual directorys and everything started working again. Hopefully this post will save someone the hours I spent on this. Thanks again @Gavin

I suspect that both IIS and Tomcat are trying to listen on Port 80, only one can bind at a time. If you look in IIS you may find your default website is stopped.
