Creating a Zope/Plone Instance Manually

[mbanaouas]

Hi,
I usually installed successfully Plone from binary installer.
Now, I'm creating a Zope/Plone instance manually and it works fine for ZMI, thanks to Martin Aspeli book: Professional Plone Development.
But Plone is not yet installed on it: my browser fails on both http://localhost:80 and http://localhost:80/optilux.
I checked plone.conf file in the sud-directories: not found.
Is this the normal behaviour ? So what I'm doing wrong ? Must I specify more packages in buildout.cfg ?

thanks

I started "bin\instance fg" and the output is :
D:\optilux>bin\instance fg
D:\optilux\parts\instance\bin\runzope -X debug-mode=on

D:\optilux>"C:\Python\python.exe" "D:\optilux\parts\instance\bin\servicewrapper.py" -C "D:\optilux\parts\instance\etc\zope.conf" "-X" "debug-mode=on"

I'm having the same issue here. I've followed this tutorial:
http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/developing-plone-with-eclipse/creating-plone-site

but I cannot access the ZMI, neither at the address http://localhost:8080/ nor under http://localhost:8080/manage
after having (successfully) started the instance via  

python2.4 instance start
>. daemon process started, pid=26724

Is there a more verbous way of starting the instance?

Hi Nicolai,
I finally solved my initial problem by downloading the plone package its self (like mentionned in the book) . In my case, I'm trying to build a customized setup witch will be a mix from a "virgin plone" and my adds.
Did you set debug mode on and tried to start the instance on fg ?
