[Setup] trouble over-installing Plone2.5 on OS X 10.4

[Dan LaSota]

Hi,

I ran into trouble with a Plone site I had successfully installed 
from the binary for Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC). At some point I decided it 
was easier to start over rather than fix an error I had made, so I 
trashed these directories:

/opt/Plone2.5
/Library/StartupItems/Plone2
/Library/Receipts/Plone*

I went ahead and reinstalled the Plone package using the same binary 
installer and it reported sucess.

The problem is that the page delivered at

http://host:8080/Plone serves up an error page, rather than the "You 
have successfully installed Plone" page.

It is thus:
---
Site Error
An error was encountered while publishing this resource.
Resource not found
Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.

encountering an error.

If the error persists please contact the site maintainer. Thank you 
for your patience.

The Zope page at http://host:8080 looks normal, but I cannot login to 
the ZMI using the admin password at 
/opt/Plone2.5/Instance/adminPassword.txt

I have googled a bit and tried using the zpasswd.py script to install 
a temporary user, but at this point I would like to know how to scrub 
my system of Plone, and do a fresh install, short of actually 
reformatting the drive and the system.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
