Facebook Integration problem

[faeronsayn]

My users are now reporting that they cannot sign in through facebook. After a couple of reports I decided to go into the tools section and test the integration for facebook. An error unsurprisingly popped up:

Your server could not connect to Facebook (https://graph.facebook.com). Try again later. If the issue persists, contact your host.

Before it use to be an on and off thing but now it seems to be quite consistent. I am not sure how I can fix this, since I don't see much in the server error log. I am probably missing a huge part of my facebook audience just because they can't login. Any fix or advice would be appreciated.

I found this thread elsewhere on the subject:

The solution in their case was:

Figured out the problem. Although I had CurlSSL compiled into Apache and OpenSSL installed on the server, OpenSSL wasn't compiled into Apache. Once I rebuilt Apache with OpenSSL, the Facebook integration works fine now.

So, like the error states, you should probably try to get in touch with your host.

Thanks for the reply.

Fixed. Installed openssl-devel.x86_64 and facebook integration test works every time now.

openssl was installed, but not openssl-devel

Good work, I'll remember that one.
