Uploading failed on new Dropbox account
Hello,
I wrote a small script that creates a dump of a database and then uploads it to Dropbox. I've been using this script on several sites for years.
But I recently opened a new dropbox account, and this new account will contain only sites backups (keeping the former one only for my own data). So I created a new app, generated the new keys and updated one of my script for tests but it doesn't upload.
I decided to make a basic test : on one site I create a text file and uploads it to the former dropbox accoutn : it works.
On another site, I do the exact same thing : the text file is created on the server but then when the script tries to upload the file to the NEW dropbox account, I have this error :
> Uploading "/correct_path_to_the_file/test.txt" to "/Applications/MyAppFolder/test.txt"... FAILED
An error occurred requesting /upload
Some error occured. rerun the script with "-d" option and check the output and logfile: /tmp/du_resp_31122.what is the -d option ? And where can I find more details about this error ?
Where is the /tmp/du_resp_31122 logfile ?
Why do you think this small script works fine on the former dropbox account and not this one ?

Where is the /tmp/du_resp_31122 logfile ?
/tmp is a mount point. It will be pointing to a drive/partition somewhere on the computer that's running the code. Use the mount and/or df commands to get information about the location.
