Check out your logs as the relay starts. Look for a log message like

      log_notice(LD_DIR, "Not advertising Dir%s (Reason: %s)",
                 dir_port ? "Port" : "ectory Service support", reason);

Common reasons include "AccountingMax enabled" and
"BandwidthRate under 50KB".

In general, it's fine for Tor to decide not to advertise your DirPort.
Everything else is still working fine. Thanks for running a relay!
