Failed to start the resumable upload (HTTP 404)

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()));
    }

.........

                try{
                    // REPLACE this value with the path to the file you are uploading.
                    $videoPath = $_FILES['video']['tmp_name'];

                    // video category.
                    $snippet = new Google_Service_YouTube_VideoSnippet();

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.
