What steps will reproduce the problem?
I assume this is a system-specific problem. When I download and launch Google Refine on one particular computer - a Windows XP Pro machine - I receive a 404 error, reading:
HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /. Reason:
Couldn't find the specified resource
I have deleted and re-downloaded the .zip file, restarted the
computer, etc.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
google-refine-2.0-r1836, Windows XP Pro.

Please provide any additional information below.

Attached is a screenshot of the command line while Refine is running. The ResourceNotFoundException with macros.vm may be the problem here.

I was able to launch/run Google Refine only once -- on subsequent attempts, I get the 404 Error. Rebooting the PC did not solve the problem. (Windows XP Pro.)

I got this error too when double-clicking on the executable directly.

Try opening a command prompt and going to the folder the app was extracted to. Then type 'refine.bat', and see if it complains about a missing JAVA_HOME environment variable.

If it does, you just need to create it. For example, my variable was set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6". You may have to point at at a different location, depending on where Java is installed on your machine.

Following up with myrrddin's comment, instructions for how to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable are here. http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Setting+the+JAVA_HOME+Variable+in+Windows

Non-developers/normal users should understand that they are not pointing at the Java Development Kit but rather at their Java installation (which in my Windows machine was in exactly the same place as myrddin's). The procedure for setting up the variable is exactly the same as for the Kit, but you're just pointing at Java.

I had to relearn a bit of DOS to figure out how to get into refine's directory from a command line and run refine.bat. Thanks, for the memories!

I'm experiencing the exact same issue on Debian testing with both the latest stable and development versions and it seems that something isn't properly handling directory names with characters like (in my case) a comma in it. Running it from /tmp works fine, running from /media/HOME/Downloads/binaries,source/data/google-refine-2.1 fails with the same exception.

Thad tested today and said that this had been fixed, presumably by the fix to issue #258.

I just tried to install google refine 2.1-r2136 on windows xp pro, but i'm afraid I got the same problem, including the macros.vm not found message. The solution in comment 4 did not solve the problem unfortunately.
I also tried installing google refine 2.5-rc1-r2314 but ran into the same problem (also with the unable to find macros.vm message)
Thanks

That is a Velocity tools error when it mentions macros.vm. So, it cannot find macros.vm in one of the Extension folders...Why ? Hmmm, maybe a Anti-Virus program picked it up and put it in quarantine, can you check that ? Also, can you try giving us a bit on your Environment settings ?

  1. Open a command window.
  2. Type PATH and hit Enter, then copy and paste (mark) the results in a reply here.
  3. Type SET and hit Enter, then copy and paste (mark) the results in the same reply.
  4. Type java -version and hit Enter, then copy and paste (mark) the results in same reply.

Thanks - Thad

Had the same problem with my install on a WIN7 64bit. Just needed to use C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7
