That did it! The 32-bit installer worked perfectly. I think I will report this to my hosting company - they should document that they are using a 32-bit OS to prevent this sort of confusion in the future.
Thanks again for you prompt response to my questions. To anyone who was following this thread, I highly recommend using Jordan's installer to get OpenBD up and running quickly. It makes setting up OpenBD on a new server painless - if you use the correct version of the installer :) BTW, I decided to keep Lighttpd as the public-facing server since it was already installed on port 80 of the cloud image I am using. It was fairly straightforward to setup Lighttpd to proxy the .cfm pages to Tomcat on 8080, and let Lighttpd handle everything else. Seems to be a good way to go: OpenBD, Tomcat & Lighttpd.
