I am checking by pointing my browser to:

mysite.com/xwiki
Specifying the port gives me a "can't connect" error, the last one
just gives me a 404 (it's obviously being handled on port 80 by
apache)
If 8080 doesn't work, then it's blocked by the firewall, you could try
to check if you can allow 8080 out of the firewall.
If the 404 is a classic apache httpd response, then there's no bridge
connecting httpd and tomcat, so it's not an XWiki issue but a
httpd<->tomcat connector one.
I do not think I have access to the Tomcat logs since
it is a shared
container - they do not show up anywhere that I can find on my
filesystem through SSH.
Try looking ini in /var/log/tomcat* or /usr/local/tomcat*/logs/
