Hi. How did you get the dropbox.py script?

Are you trying to run the dropbox script as root?
Is there a file in /root/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86-3.2.9/dropbox?

I needed to reboot my linux server after running Dropbox successfully for over a year.

I then proceed to do the following:

./dropbox.py start

Starting Dropbox....Done!

./dropbox.py status

Starting....

The problem is that the status always returns "Starting...." and nothing is getting synched to my server.

Please help!
