Facebook OAuthException Error

[Fufu]

I receive an OAuthException error when I test the facebook integration.
I have the Secret App Key, App ID, and even Administrator ID set.
I have repopulated the Secret App Key 4x now.
I have updated all website information, including the URL and domain name information.

{
  "error": {
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration."
  }
}

Any ideas are worth a shot.

Every time I have seen this reported before it has either been incorrect settings or it has resolved itself after some time.

For example: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/facebook-integration-doesnt-work.14850/#post-194424 and http://xenforo.com/community/threads/facebook-login-setup.6084/page-5#post-180746

Just to confirm, have you followed the instructions here exactly?

For the record, the xenForo manual needs to state this problem:

{
  "error": {
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration."
  }
}

Then the xenForo manual needs to suggest this solution:

In 'admin.php' -> Basic Board Options -> Board URL needs to match exactly the facebook My Apps -> Edit Settings -> Web Site -> Site URL.

It doesn't need to be the same though.

My Board URL is http://cliptheapex.com/community
My FB App site URL is http://cliptheapex.com/

The important thing is ensuring the http:// and trailing slash are present in the FB App, and the HTTP:// in the board URL.

This explanation or something similar would be most helpful if added to the xenForo manual.

I'll add it to my list of updates.

I'm also getting this error:

{ "error": { "type": "OAuthException", "message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration." } }

Everything is configured correctly so I'm not sure what is the cause. I currrently have about 8 different account configured for other forum software without any problems so I know it's configured :/

 

[Paul B]

If all of the FB App settings are correct, as well as the board URL containing the http:// then there's not much more that can be done at this end.

 

[Sean James]

Is this a common issue?

 

[Paul B]

I've only seen it a handful of times and in a few cases it was due to misconfiguration.

Not everyone reports back once they've resolved it though.

No problem, just tried a few more things and not working I guess I wont be using Facebook connect.

Thanks for your help.
