Spaces in paths (and filenames) are evil, and should never have been allowed in the first place. A special place in hell is reserved for the genius who first allowed this stupid thing in an OS. Luled at this. The underscore is your friend. I find it odd that the OP can't just rename said directories, but who knows: there's always inheriting a lot of WTF's from an existing project that just leads to non-stop facepalming.

Re: Cannot start apache tomcat 7.0 if server path contains two consecutive spaces.
Hi Micheal-O, I do not understand well your suggestion. Which file should be improved, catalina.sh, right? Anyway, I tried to deploy tomcat default package. AFAIK, quote and slash is used to fix problem if there is a space in path. According my test result, in Tomcat 7, in case of having no consecutive spaces, there is no problem.
