Subject: Re: [users@httpd] configure fails when space in directory name

Put quotes around the directory name.  Apache interprets a path like
/home/directory/my location as /home/directory/my and then stops, and
takes location as something else (another command or something, I'm
not exactly sure...)

If you put quotes around it, it will take the exact path, spaces and all.

Hope it helps--Let me know
