NearlyFreeSpeech.net caveats #43

1. The path to .htpasswd defined in ../cgi-bin/.htaccess must contain the Apache Site Root, as defined in members.nfs.net/username/sites/mysite. In other words, it must be something like /NFSdomain/siteshortname/protected/.htpasswd, NOT /home/protected/.htpasswd. (Assuming your .htpasswd is in /home/protected.)

2. NFS does not allow you to actually run a gemini/gopher server; only HTTP/HTTPS. (which I somehow only realized after spending several hours on #1. :P)

Thanks for lichen! I'm happy to send you a PR for updating the readme, if you think it's worth noting the above. :)

Hey @cena , nice shoutout. I definitely barreled through the set up when I set it up myself for the first time, as I am not an export in server-side devops stuff. So thanks for pointing this out, and I'll add it in.

I'm super glad I get the honor to maintain this, it's fantastic. If you have any other suggestions or see anything else worth improving, feel free to raise a PR!
