I am not sure how your configuration of your apache looks like (e.g. httpd.conf), but make sure that all paths are framed in colons ".

E.g. "d:/apache group/apache2/..."

Does not have to do directly with TWiki, but may solve your problem.

If you create a share on the server (without a space in its name this time! :-)), you would then have something like a Unix link, i.e., another name that points to the same place. E.g., share D:/Apache Group/Apache2/ as Apache. Then instead of the D:/.. references, configure TWiki to use the UNC address of the share, \\server_name\Apache

Use an underscore to sub for the space: D:/Apache_Group/Apache2/htdocs/TWiki/pub or try %20: D:/Apache%20Group/Apache2/htdocs/TWiki/pub
