When you ran "ant -f setup.xml", did you see the ant target: "start.domain" invoked?
e.g.
create.domain:
[exec] Using port 4848 for Admin.
[exec] Using port 8080 for HTTP Instance.
[exec] Using port 7676 for JMS.
[exec] Using port 3700 for IIOP.
[exec] Using port 8181 for HTTP_SSL.
[exec] Using default port 3820 for IIOP_SSL.
[exec] Using default port 3920 for IIOP_MUTUALAUTH.
[exec] Using default port 8686 for JMX_ADMIN.
...
Can you run bin/asadmin list-domains?
