Tested on debian10 (current raspi os) with the Simulator... - you did not need to create /home/weewx, the 'setup.py install' will handle that for you - public_html and webpages are not created by the installation process, they are created and populated when run weewx as a daemon and it runs its reports the first time - there 'should' be a /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb created for you when you ran that 'weewxd' command the first time
If you run "sudo ./bin/wee_reports" then it'll create public_html and populate it for you immediately. Als, if you're debugging a new system, set debug=1 in weewx.conf please, at least initially, so it logs more verbosely.
