Given URL is not allowed by the Applic         


        

Answer 1

I was getting this problem while using a tunnel because I:

1. had the tunnel url:port set in the FB app settings
2. but was accessing the local server by pointing my browser to "http://localhost:3000"

once i started punching the tunnel url:port into the browser, i was good to go.

i'm using Rails and Facebooker, but might help others just the same.

Answer 2

I kept getting this error, when using wildcard subdomains with my app. I had the site url set to: http://myapp.com and app domain also to http://myapp.com, and also the same value for the Valid OAuth redirect URIs in the advanced tab of the settings app. I tried different combinations but only setting the http://subdomain.myapp.com as the redirect value worked, of course only for that subdomain.

The solution was to empty the redirect fields, leave it blank, that worked! ;)

Answer 3

Your settings must be incorrect.

Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/ and edit the application you're working on.

On the "website" tab, look for "Site URL". This should be set to your website's URL "http://yoursite.com/"

Note that if you're using subdomains, you'll also need to update "Site Domain" to be "yoursite.com"

Answer 4

Also check to see if you are missing the www in the url which was on my case

i was testing on http://www.mywebsite.com and in the facebook app i had set http://mywebsite.com

Answer 5

You can set up a developer application and set the url to localhost.com:port Make sure to map localhost.com to localhost on your hosts file

Works for me
