[gopher] motsognir UserDir=

[Mateusz Viste]

Hi Michael,

I'm sorry for the longish delay of my answer, I only got your message 
today (it would seem to be related to some moderation troubles on the 
gopher list). Please find my answer below.

The actual URL you should connect to is this:

gopher://gopher.mydomain.tld/1/~yourusername/

does this bring any result?

If not, could you please tell me what version of Motsognir you run 
exactly, and provide me with the logs that Motsognir outputs when it 
fails to display a user directory?

cheers,
Mateusz
