I am testing my application in localhost. When I clicked on fb login I got an error
> Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.: One or more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings. It must match the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a subdomain of one of the App's domains.
I referred this question but it's about online application. Here I want to test it locally. What should I give in App Domains?
My application name say http://localhost/fblogin. and what should be redirect_url?
I tried to give App Domain : http://localhost/fblogin but it gives me error like
> App Domains: `https://localhost/fblogin` should not contain protocol information.
I was only able to test facebook apps locally by setting up a virtual host URL. In case you're un-familiar with virtual hosts the basic effect is that when you direct any browser on your computer some URL of your choice (it could be www.yahoo.com if you want) it points to local a directory instead of looking for that URL on the internet. This way you'll be able give facebook the http:// URL it wants while staying local. I was able to set up a virtual host on my Mac using the following tutorial.
I suggest you add a development subdomain and point it to your localhost.
In Mac OSX edit /etc/hosts in the terminal
sudo vi /etc/hosts
Then add the following line to the end of the file (replace "mydomain.com" accordingly)
127.0.0.1 dev.mydomain.com
Then save, hit the ESC key
:wq
Then flush the cache
dscacheutil -flushcache
Now add that domain to your facebook app domains
MyFacebookApp -> Settings -> Basic -> App Domains
Now instead of using
http://localhost:3000
to test your app, try
http://dev.mydomain.com:3000
(assuming port 3000)
Should work :)
