404 Error upon Launch #233

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
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+Wi
ndows

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
