I downloaded weewx-4.5.1 source code from github and I've been following
the setup.py method of install into a Ubuntu 20 virtual machine.
see: https://weewx.com/docs/setup.htm
I created a 'weewx' Ubuntu user, so the /home/weewx directory structure
would be created.
I've edited the weewx.conf file for my setup to use an RTL-SDR to receive
data from an Acurite Atlas weather station.
The stock apache2 conf.d file included in weewx, points to the web server
location of:
Alias /weewx /home/weewx/public_html
<Directory /home/weewx/public_html>
That public_html directory was not created by the installation process.
Was it supposed to?
When I manually start weewx with the suggested commands:
cd /home/weewx
sudo ./bin/weewxd
Parts of the system start and i see the SDR reading the Atlas data.
There doesn't appear to be a database file, and there isn't any webpage
files being created or updated.

I've gone through the install process several times, to be sure that no
steps were missed, but it isn't working as expected.
Is this a known problem with version 4.5.1?
