Failed to start the resumable upload (HTTP 404) - php

Question

Here is my code, I am trying for a couple of hours to fix this problem, the only error that I am getting is: Failed to start the resumable upload (HTTP 404)
Is there a way to see more error details, or do you guys know what may cause this error? I have granted access and everything, I check for expired tokens as well, but can't upload a video b/c of this.
Please at least a hint about how can I see more error details.
......
//Check if token is valid
if($this->client->isAccessTokenExpired()){
//var_dump($this->client->getAccessToken());
$NewAccessToken = json_decode($this->client->getAccessToken());
$d = $this->client->refreshToken($NewAccessToken->refresh_token);
$this->client->setAccessToken(trim($this->client->getAccessToken()));
}

// Specify the size of each chunk of data, in bytes. Set a higher value for

// Setting the defer flag to true tells the client to return a request which can be called

Answer 1

You should check your php error logs.
In Linux environment it should be at: var/log/httpd/error_log
In Windows environment you should check your php.ini
error_log = c:/server/php.log line to find the location.
EDIT: if you don't have errors enabled, change the following line in your php.ini
log_errors = On
and reproduce the error.
EDIT2: the following page also seems to have a lot of samples if you haven't already looked at it.

ClientLogin for Google has been shutdown: see here
I recently had to re-code authentication on an app to fix the issue. You must now use OAuth to authenticate with Google. The good news: there is plenty of code out there to help you including on Google: OAuth2
