Facebook OAuth redirect_uri problem 'Given URL is not permitted by the application configuration.'

Question

When asking for authorisation by redirecting to the following url:

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=...&scope=email,offline_access&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Flogin%2Findex.php%3Fcallback%3Dfacebook

Facebook returns 'Invalid redirect_uri Given URL is not permitted by the application configuration.'

Possibly because my application is registered with http://syncacity.com on the application configuration. But still, twitter allows me to redirect to any url, so why is facebook whining?

I'd appreciate your thoughts :)

Answer 1

why not just edit your hosts file and point your domain to your local ip then you only need to switch the dev box hosts before doing anything.

Answer 2

Change your application url to http://localhost while you develop and then to your site once it's in production. :)

Answer 3

it got resolved - thanks to one of the Facebook platform developers.

Let's say your local site URL is http://localhost:8000 You will need to add http://localhost:8000 to the Facebook App setting at "Settings -> Basic -> Website->Site URL."

Answer 4

Following worked for me:

App Domains: localhost
Site URL: http://localhost

Answer 5

I create a test app in sandbox mode (advanced settings) then integrate to that for development and test

Answer 6

You have defined localhost url in redirect_url (redirect_uri=http://localhost/login/index.php ..) I'm not familiar with OAuth but that might be the problem.
