Question

Simple apache question –

How do I escape the following folder name to allow apache to understand it?

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName calgary-ng-wrapper.lvh.me
    DocumentRoot /Users/myname/workspaces/mysite/week-two-09232011 (branch)
    <Directory "/Users/myname/workspaces/mysite/week-two-09232011 (branch)">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I thought backslashes would work, but they seem not to.

EDIT to clarify question –

The problem is with this line –
DocumentRoot /Users/myname/workspaces/mysite/week-two-09232011 (branch)

I need apache to recognise the bracketes

You should also put the first occurance of the path within quotes:

DocumentRoot "/Users/myname/workspaces/mysite/week-two-09232011 (branch)"
