I have created nothing in the way of web content yet.
Clearly my problem was incorrect setup, but where?

Your last 2 lines are the expected behavior since your DocumentRoot is correctly set to the public directory. I would have expected referencing home or public to generate route errors. That initial index.php in the public folder is just a controller to start up the Codeigniter framework.
