I have a cpanel account under directory:
/home/username/
and a single file under:
/home/username/public_html/
which is index.php
which contains:
<?php
header("Location: https://www.facebook.com/.../");
I am using CentOS server and this worked well until today. However now it redirects me to (Default Web Site Page):
username.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
I am unable to figure out what caused this.
I think there is an issues with your cPanel account setup and due to that you site is not showing content from /home/username/public_html/ directory, Might be there is misconfiguration with the site IP OR DNS, Please try to check your site with temp URL and check it (http://Server_IP/~username/)
If you are using https for your domain please check if your certificate is valid. It might be you have installed a SSL certificate on a shared IP address.

one of my customer having an issue with domain redirect. The domain is redirecting from http://domainname.com to http://domainname.com/~USERNAME/
its an cPanel server and he is using Zencart. I have checked cPanel redirect option but didn't see any redirection set for it. Can somebody help me on this.
I think you have installed zencart on your domain with the temp URL and due to that site link are redirecting to such URL, You will have to change your site pages URL in your databases.
I recently redid a client's old Drupal site, in Apostrophe, and pointed their domain to the new server.
I am now trying to access the old site via IP address, but there seems to be a redirect configured to rewrite the base IP address to the domain name (72.xx.xxx.xxx to www.clientdomain.com).
Is there something configured in Drupal to rewrite the IP address? Can I change a field in the database or configuration files to prevent this?
I have ssh access to the server, and have poured over the Drupal code, settings.php, .htaccess, etc., but cannot locate this offending field. I am not familiar with Drupal, but suspect it could be an admin setting. Since the site redirects, I am unable to login to the admin backend.
Any and all insight is appreciated. Thanks for your help!
A few possibilities:
In the settings.php (sites/default/settings.php), see if there is a $base_url set. If you can see any, comment that line. You can run a drupal site without the base_url hardcoded in the settings.php
In the .htaccess look for redirects. Your safest bet is to replace it with a fresh file downloaded from http://drupal.org/project/drupal
The most likely case is that your web server is configured to redirect the IP address to the main domain.
You can also access your site at old server by explicitly setting the IP address in your hosts file. Check it for your operating system DNS resolver docs.
ssl error invalid or self-signed certificate magento image upload
Any have solution for this error.Please rectify my problem
In my case it was because of .htaccess password protected website. Removing temporarily the password protection fixed the problem.
In the Base URL fields you should enter the unsecure (regular) web site URL and the web site URL for the SSL connections. You can leave the other values unchanged, as they will be set automatically by the script after you enter the Base URL.
In my case this only happened on staging magento servers. They had an HTACCESS file that was whitelisted for the IP and both had the HTTP site listed in the "Secure" and "Unsecure" section of the magento web configuration. Using Firefox, it would fail every single time, trying to upload a product image. The only solution that worked reliably each time was to install and use Chrome.
For some reason, that seemed to solve our issue throughout all of our servers. This error never showed up on our production server that had a real SSL installed.
I am planning to connect to Facebook chat from my localhost. I will need to get the session key from Facebook. When I give the site URL as localhost:8080 or ip-address:8080 it does not work.
I read about setting up two apps with 2 different API keys one runs on dev m/c and other on localhost but I did not quite get it.
Can anyone explain how to run a Facebook app on localhost?
I wrote a tutorial about this a while ago.
The most important point is the "Site URL":
Site URL: http://localhost/app_name/
Where the folder structure is something like:
app_name
¦ index.php
¦
+---canvas
¦ ¦ index.php
¦ ¦
¦ +---css
¦ main.css
¦ reset.css
¦
+---src
facebook.php
fb_ca_chain_bundle.crt
EDIT:
Kavya: how does the FB server recognize my localhost even without an IP or port??
I don't think this has anything to do with Facebook, I guess since the iframe src parameter is loaded from client-side it'll treat your local URL as if you put it directly on your browser.
For example have a file on your online server with content (e.g. online.php):
<iframe src="http://localhost/test.php" width="100%" height="100%">
<p>Not supported!</p>
</iframe>
And on your localhost root directory, have the file test.php:
<?php echo "Hello from Localhost!"; ?>
Now visit http://your_domain.com/online.php you will see your localhost file's content!
This is why realtime subscriptions and deauthorize callbacks (just to mention) won't work with localhost URLs! because Facebook will ping (send http requests) to these URLs but obviously Facebook server won't translate those URLs to yours!
if you use localhost:
in Facebook-->Settings-->Basic,
in field "App Domains" write "localhost",
then click to "+Add Platform" choose "Web Site",
it will create two fields "Mobile Site URL" and "Site URL",
in "Site URL" write again "localhost".
works for me.
You can also edit 'hosts' file and create local variation of your domain.
Example
If your real facebook application address is "example.com" you can create "localhost.example.com" (accessible only from your pc) domain in your "hosts" file pointing to "localhost" and run your local website under this domain.
You can trick Facebook this way.
In your app's basic settings (https://developers.facebook.com/apps)
under Settings->Basic->Select how your app integrates with Facebook...
Use "Site URL:" and "Mobile Site URL:" to hold your production and development URLs. Both sites will be allowed to authenticate. I'm just using Facebook for authentication so I don't need any of the mobile site redirection features. I usually change the "Mobile Site URL:" to my "localhost:12345" site while I'm testing the authentication, and then set it back to normal when I'm done.
2013 August.
Facebook doesn't allow to set domain with port for an App, as example "localhost:3000".
So you can use https://pagekite.net to tunnel your localhost:port to proper domain.
Rails developers can use http://progrium.com/localtunnel/ for free.
Facebook allows only one domain for App at the time. If you are trying to add another one, as localhost, it will show some kind of different error about domain. Be sure to use only one domain for callback and for app domain setting at the time.
So I got this to work today. My URL is http://localhost:8888. The domain I gave facebook is localhost. I thought that it was not working because I was trying to pull data using the FB.api method. I kept on getting an "undefined" name and an image without a source, so definitely didn't have access to the Graph.
Later I realized that my problem was really that I was only passing a first argument of /me to FB.api, and I didn't have a token. So you'll need to use the FB.getLoginStatus function to get a token, which should be added to the /me argument.
just specify your canvas url as http://localhost/app_path.
Ok I'm not sure what's up with these answers but I'll let you know what worked for me as advised by a senior dev at my work. I'm working in Ruby on Rails and using Facebook's JavaScript code to get access tokens.
Problem: To do authentication, Facebook is taking the url from your address bar and comparing that with what they have on file. They don't allow you to use localhost:3000 for whatever reason. However, you can use a completely made-up domain name like yoursite.dev by running a local server and pointing yoursite.dev to 127.0.0.1:3000 or wherever your localhost was pointing to.
Step 1: Install or update Nginx
$ brew install nginx (install) or $ brew upgrade nginx (update)
Step 2: Open up your nginx config file
/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf (usually here)
/opt/boxen/config/nginx/nginx.conf(if you use Boxen)
Step 3 Add this bit of code into your http {} block
Replace proxy_pass with wherever you want to point yoursite.dev to. In my case it was replacing localhost:3000 or the equivalent 127.0.0.1:3000
server {
listen yoursite.dev:80;
server_name yoursite.dev;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
}
}
Step 4: Edit your hosts file, in /etc/hosts on Mac to include
127.0.0.1 yoursite.dev
This file directs domains to localhost. Nginx listens in on localhost and redirects if it matches a rule.
Step 5: Every time you use your dev environment going forward, you use the yoursite.dev in the address bar instead of localhost:3000 so Facebook logs you in correctly.
Forward is a great tool for helping with development of facebook apps locally, it supports SSL so the cert thing isn't a problem.

You need to setup your app to run over https for localhost
You can follow steps given in this to setup HTTPS on ubuntu
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-12-04
You need to do following steps:
install apache (if you do not have)
sudo apt-get install apache2
Step One—Activate the SSL Module
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo service apache2 restart
Step Two—Create a New Directory
sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl
Step Three—Create a Self Signed SSL Certificate
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/apache/ssl/apache.key -out /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
With this command, we will be both creating the self-signed SSL certificate and the server key that protects it, and placing both of them into the new directory.
The most important line is "Common Name". Enter your official domain name here or, if you don't have one yet, your site's IP address.
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:example.com or
localhost
Step Four—Set Up the Certificate
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
Find following lines and edit those with your settings
ServerName localhost or example.com
SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key
Step Five—Activate the New Virtual Host
sudo a2ensite default-ssl
sudo service apache2 reload
A trick:
Use MAMPPRO and create:
server name: the EXACT adress of you website (eg: helloworld.com)
to your site on your disk
On Facebook:
So you can keep your original Site URL as well (eg: helloworld.com)
Now you understand that when you type your website on the adress bar you are in local!
..and when you want to be online, just inactive the server on MAMP PRO..

None of the answers above worked for me. I am running on FB API 2.5. Mine was a combination of issues that lead to success once resolved
Create a test app to ensure that it is maintained and managed as
such and can be disabled when going live
Read the error message properly :) - I had to enable "Web OAuth Login" WITH "Client OAuth Login"
Use https://www.whatismyip.com/ to find out what my
current IP is
Create an A record on my Domain i.e.
http://localhost.mydomain.com that points to my current IP
It's probably not ideal as Dynamic IP's change and one could probably use DynDNS or something similar to make the IP more "static" but it worked for me
In my case the issue revealed to be chrome blocking the CORS request from localhost:4200 to facebook api website.
Running Chrome with this setting: "YOUR_PATH_TO_CHROME\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-web-security --user-data-dir="c:/chrome
worked like a charm while developing. Even with no localhost added to facebook app's settings.
