CSS, JS, … not created by drush site:install

Drupal installation is failing with the following steps on a Debian box (database is already created and privileges granted to specific user):

(user) $ composer create-project drupal/recommended-project myproject # ... ask if it is OK to install composer/installers, drupal/core-composer-scaffold and drupal/core-project-message, answer Yes  # ... emits 2 warnings about doctrine/reflection and webmozart/path-util being obsolete (user) $ cd myproject (user) $ composer composer require drush/drush (user) $ drush site:install --locale=fr # ... asks for MySql credentials # ... displays admin user credentials. 

Everything runs smoothly with no error messages, only the 3 questions and 2 warnings mentionned supra.

Yet, when I browse the configured path (DocumentRoot is set to the "web" directory) I got an unstyled page (same appearance than CSS not applying in drupal 8 site , but stylesheets href are set to "/").

If I take the through-the-web installation path instead of running Drush, then everything runs fine except for minor annoyances with permissions settings under ‘web/sites/default’.

Comparing both "web" directories shows that (besides unsignificant differences due to different hashes) no "css", "js", "languages" nor "php" directories are created and populated under the Drush installed "web/sites/default/files" directory.

What am I doing wrong? I could find no help in Drupal documentation nor by googling around.

  • Drupal : 9.3.9
  • Composer : 2.2.9
  • Drush : 11.0.7

Thanks in advance
