not found in Linux debian
When I try to run the command
./dropbox.py start
I get this error message
Starting Dropbox.../root/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86-3.2.9/dropboxd: 8: exec: /root/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86-3.2.9/dropbox: not found
resolved, uninstalled the nautilus-dropbox and installed:
https://www.dropbox.com/pt_BR/install?os=lnx, version 64 bits
previously tried to install the version 32. I remembered that my debian is 64 bits
thanks

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? - celso c.1New member | Level 1

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!
