title: escaping characters in apache vhost - osx
body: <p>Simple apache question - </p>
  
  <p>How do I escape the following folder name to allow apache to understand it?</p>
  
  <pre><code>NameVirtualHost *:80
  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
      ServerName calgary-ng-wrapper.lvh.me
      DocumentRoot /Users/myname/workspaces/mysite/week-two-09232011 (branch)
      &lt;Directory "/Users/myname/workspaces/mysite/week-two-09232011 (branch)"&gt;
          Order allow,deny
          Allow from all
          AllowOverride All
      &lt;/Directory&gt;
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I thought backslashes would work, but they seem not to. </p>

  <p>EDIT to clarify question - </p>
  
  <p>The problem is with this line - 
      DocumentRoot /Users/myname/workspaces/mysite/week-two-09232011 (branch)</p>
  
  <p>I need apache to recognise the bracketes</p>
