Changing document root to link dir containing spaces crashes apache.

[Znote]

In order to update virtual hosts, you need to reboot apache. After writing in a document root in /apanel/ containing a space apache won't start at all

 

Works: E:\ftpuser\www

 

Buggy: E:\ftp user\www

 

Solution:

 

You need to edit UniServer\usr\local\apache2\conf\httpd.conf and edit the virtual host.

Open httpd.conf in a text document, scroll at the bottom, locate your virtual host.

 

Sample:

##########VIRTUAL HOST SETUP##########
# QUEST.ZNOTE.EU
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName quest.znote.eu
DocumentRoot E:/quest www
</VirtualHost>

 

You can see the dir:

DocumentRoot E:/quest www

 

Add the " symbol in the start and end of the dir, like this:

DocumentRoot "E:/quest www"

 

Save document, now start apache. It will work.
