I followed the "Install Plone with Buildout" method as per Install Plone with Buildout — Plone Documentation v6 and everything proceeds well, but when I bin/instance fg and create a new classic site and browse to it at http://127.0.0.1:8080/Plone I see an undecorated/unstyled page.
In Safari, the favicon preload is an error (<link rel=preload> cannot have the empty string as 'as' value). In Firefox, that is classified as a warning.
What could be the problem?
oh of course, bit by the "you should browse to http://localhost:8080/Plone" mistake...
Is there a way we could change the wording of the
2025-10-09 14:06:06,677 INFO [waitress:449][MainThread] Serving on http://0.0.0.0:8080
message? It's misleading... Also, and this is a platform-specific issue, using Safari, if you click on that link it shows you a blank page (about:blank)
or maybe add in the docs something to that effect everywhere (less efficient)
I see in Install Plone with Buildout — Plone Documentation v6 there is " Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser." but it isn't obvious that this is an important difference in the URL nor what happens if you don't.

Thanks Steve – I got bit by this again, just long enough to have forgotten 
and found this thread...
Looking at Install Plone with Buildout — Plone Documentation v6 it says
Now you can visit
http://localhost:8080in your browser
which does not really stand out the same way as "WARNING: if you browse to http://127.0.0.1:8080 you will see an error and an unstyled page"... How would you phrase it or would you leave it as is?
