Noginx related Facebook authorization issue, someone halp?

[kevin]

I hadn't toggled "Embedded browser OAuth Login"

After doing so i now get this message:

[kevin]

And if i look at the URL for that error page , it looks to be pinging the Ip address instead of the domain:

facebook.com/dialog/oauth?response_type=code&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2F 198.199.96.7%3A4567 %2Fauth%2Ffacebook.....

[julian]

Perhaps your config.json may have its base_url set to an IP?

[kevin]

@julian it was

"base_url": "http://198.199.96.7",
"port": "4567",

changed it to

 "base_url": "http://californiamotorcycleforum.com,

and the website goes all Error 502 on me.

[julian]

Don't forget the ending quote on the base_url line

[kevin]

@julian fixed. Still doesnt want to work.

[julian]

What error shows up in your console when you attempt to use the proper base_url?

Hm... that closing quote at the end of base_url doesn't look right... try replacing it with a regular quote: "

[kevin]

@julian it works fine with he ip address. I changed it, plugged in the url again and I'm back to an Error 502 screen.

[julian]

The error in your console is basically saying that it cannot parse the file as it is not valid JSON. I'd recommend trying to run node app --setup if your editor is introducing errant characters into the config.json file...

[kevin]

@julian

Yeah i just use dreamweaver ftp because it's quicker, for me at least. okay i got the website to run while the base_url is http://californiamotorcycleforum.com.
The facebook issue remains the same, although the app is no longer pinging the ip address.

Okay. I just deleted the url and domain from facebook's app. Retyped it in again. Hit save. Now it works. this would be rewarding if i knew why that solved it.

[julian]

Nice

I'm just glad it's working. I'm guessing your dreamweaver doesn't insert a plain ol' quote? Seems like an odd thing for a code editor to not do, but I'll refrain from making any disparaging remarks against that IDE

Edit: @kevin, can we possibly feature your forum on our main website?

[kevin]

I was editing them in plain document mode. That was my bad. It didn't seem to make a difference. The endquote worked fine when we had the ip in the base url.

And yeah! of course! I'm glad you like it.
