Overpass API developpement

Hi Igor,

Thank you for reporting the issue. Can you please give details?

If the logfile of the dispatcher ($DB_DIR/transactions.log) is of a 
decent size then please send that file.

Has the script, in particular update_from_dir called from the script, 
produced any output? If so, could you please send that as well?

Could you please verify which script is actually running? Your documentation
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Breki/Overpass_API_Installation#Configuring_Diffs
mentions both apply_osc_to_db.sh and fetch_osc_and_apply.sh

Best regards,

Roland
