I want to use custom domain to access my bluemix application directly by registered own domain. So godaddy requires the name server of bluemix so how can i find it or can you know
the another way to access it directly by registered domain
Here is an alternate way by which you can route your app to your webpage :
1 : Below your app name you would see the "Routes" with your bluemix url. At the end you have the option to edit the routes. Click that.
2: A popup would appear with one option as "Manage Domains". Click that. Alternate you can also reach to that page by clicking "Manage organization".
3: On the landing page you have the option to add a new domain. Add your website name here.
4: Now again go to edit routes. And add new route. You would see your website's name appearing . Add a name to your app. suppose you gave "myapp" as the name and your webpage name is "mywebsite.com" then your app would be redirected to your subdomain named "myapp.mywebsite.com". On save you can see this new route appearing additional to your existing routes for your app.
This is the first part. Now go to your domain provider and add create new alis with the app name. "myapp.mywebsite.com" and pass the alis name as the actual route provided by bluemix to you. Once done your app would be visible at your website.
You could follow what suggested by #Manish but instead of creating an alias CNAME on your DNS configuration you could create an A record pointing one of the following IP
US-SOUTH: 75.126.81.68
EU-GB: 5.10.124.142
AU-SYD: 168.1.35.169
according to the region your application is running on.

I used to host my webpage on username.github.io.
I have now set up a new webpage on username.com, and has no relation to username.github.io.
However, I want to redirect username.github.io to username.com.
As of now, if somebody enters username.github.io, it takes you to the 404 not found page.
Is there anyway I can reroute it to username.com?
Instead of a redirect, the normal process is for your current GitHub pages to use a custom domain
You find a better illustration of that process here
Go to your GitHub Pages site’s repository settings.
Under “Custom domain”, add or remove your custom domain and click “Save”.
Setting “custom domain” creates a file named CNAME in the same repository.
Don’t delete it.
The OP sidv adds in the comments:
After setting up my website (deployed elsewhere) and the DNS servers, I was unable to open the webpage on Safari and Firefox (only on Chrome).
Finding the load balancing IP and configuring it as an A record ended up redirecting the webpage appropriately.
Hi I wan't to create a facebook app to use it for the auth in my new site locally installed(my machine),but from yesterday I don't succeed to install it and use it, all time I have this very strange error when I wan't write a domain in the "App Domains" :
This must be derived from Canvas URL, Secure Canvas URL, Site URL, Mobile Site URL, Page Tab URL or Secure Page Tab URL. Check and correct the following domains
the domain of my application is http://localhost/project/app_dev.php/ it dosn't work I change it by a real url such as : http://www.exemple.com/,but I had the same error,and just I notice that I see this error when I create an app with new look of facebook (yesterday)...
In my case the problem was I hadn't completed the "+ Add Platform > Website" section. Once I did that the contents of App Domains became valid and the error went away.
I had this same problem yesterday, the stackoverflow answers that helped me the most were
Make local development work with Facebook/Google APIs and Canvas URL / Secure Canvas URL error message ( Also checkout How to handle OmniAuth callbacks in multiple environments?)
The Facebook developer UI has changed a bit. I'm writing this answer to consolidate all the info that helped me.
1. Make local.host Point to Your Computer
First thing you need to do is (as answered in the first link), facebook won't take localhost as a valid callback site, because it confuses localhost with a top level domain (com org etc.) in other words there is not dot . in your domain name. So change your /etc/hosts to add the entry
127.0.0.1 local.host
Now youcan access your app at http://local.host/... (this will take effect as soon as you save /etc/hosts file, no need to restart anything)
2. Add local.host as the Site URL on the facebook Dev Console
The second thing you need to do is add local.host as the site url on the facebook page
Now don't use your production app. Add a dummy app on your https://developers.facebook.com account Because your production app will have to set the site URL to your production URL and not local.host
Configure the dummy app as shown in the screenshot. But that website section(shown in the screenshot) won't be visible on the Basic settings page from the beginning.
First you will have to click + Add Platform button at the bottom, and select Website.
Notice I added http://local.host:3000/. That's where my ruby server runs in dev mode.
Also, be sure to use App Id and App Secret for the dummy app when running your webapp in dev mode.
HTH.
My problem was that logging in with facebook wasn't working for my app.
It turned out that I just needed to fill in the "Valid OAuth redirect URIs" field on the "Advanced" tab.
e.g. http://example.com/auth/google/callback
I'd a similar problem, Facebook have changed now on left pane file login (After selecting you app from top left corner) -> Valid OAuth redirect URIs
If you work on desktop app like WPF or winforms and use a WebBrowser Control to log in with the Facebook SDK.
You have to set to yes the Embedded Browser OAuth Login in Advance Tab of your facebook apps setting.
hope I help
Chose "Add platform" at the bottom and give your localhost url. "http://localhost:port/".
After this step. Facebook allows you to add localhost:port as your domain url.
After these 2 steps you can test "login with facebook" without any trouble.
I give my production server IP address as App domain in facebook application but it's not saved. It returns error as App domain is not valid. So that I cannot use my facebook connect API.
Can we give IP address as App domain in FB application? If it's not, what is the other way to do?
No, it looks like the app domain can only be a domain and not an ip address.
For example in the app settings page, near the App Domain hover the '?' and see:
Enable auth on domains and subdomain(s)
Also, I found this page: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appproperties/ it refers to the REST api and so it's not that up to date, but it clearly states there that there are two different properties: base_domain(s) and ip_list.
I suggest that you try to put a normal domain and see what happens.
All Wrong answers. Here is the true
You must click (+ add platform)
then Select Platform choose app I select website the planet icon
Enter
Site URL http://www.yoursitehere.com
Mobile Site URL http://www.yoursitehere.com
go back and enter in App Domains: yoursitehere.com
now click save
go to Status and Review
Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?
change or move to (YES)
This is what I found works.
From the Facebook development page "Apps-YourAppName", click on Basic in the LEFT Nav.
There are 3 sections on this page: Basic Info, Cloud Services, and "Select how your app integrates with Facebook"
In the Select how your app integrates with Facebook section, select "Website"
Enter your fully qualified domain name in the Site URL dialog box. Example: http://www.mydomain.com OR http://mydomain.com (my site does not include the www so I didn't add it).
At the bottom of the page click the "Save Changes" button. You may receive a notice that it may take several minutes to blah blah blah....but you can continue with the next steps immediately.
Now, in the Basic Information section at the top of this screen, you can now add your App Domain. This should be formatted as mydomain.com. Do not add "http://" and do not add "/" at the end of the domain name.
NOTE: My site does not use the www, so I cannot confirm that it's required in Step #6. Try it both ways if you're unsure.
At the bottom of the page click the "Save Changes" button. You may receive a notice that it may take several minutes to blah blah blah....but you can continue with the next steps immediately.
At this point the error was NOT displayed as it was before.
Hope this helps!
One solution to getting over the problem of using an IP address as a valid domain is to use: xip.io
xip.io is a magic domain name that provides wildcard DNS
for any IP address
Simply add .xip.io after your url and use this as the domain name. Perfect for me as I do my development on a virtual machine!
If you don't have a domain (only the IP) just leave the "App Domains" field in blank. It works! =)
This, IMHO, is Facebook's fault as the error message is really confusing and makes you think only domains are allowed.
Hope it helps someone! =)
I am trying to set up an app and like button on pages within my site. I thought I was all set but am getting the following error:
The app ID specified within the "fb:app_id" meta tag is not allowed on this domain. You must setup the Connect Base Domains for your app to be a prefix of....
I'm lost on how to fix this.
I recently ran in to this problem as well. Cost me quite a bit of time! It turns out that when you set your app domain, you also need to select an option from the list further down the page, with the header "Select how your app integrates with Facebook." Most likely you can just select the first option, and enter your domain.
If you don't do this it won't actually save your domain.
Your url is simply not allowed in your Application settings. (Basic Info -> App Domain) And allow your domain
I use ASP .NET and Facebook Connect APIs. but when I run the app and press Connect button it's return to the Website not to the test local server which is (http://localhost:xxxx/test.aspx)
So how I can test Facebook locally (i.e How I can change the callback url) ?
It's simple enough when you find out.
Open /etc/hosts (unix) or C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
If your domain is foo.com, then add this line:
127.0.0.1 local.foo.com
When you are testing, open local.foo.com in your browser and it should work.
Edit your app at www.facebook.com/developers/ and set the "Site URL" to "http://localhost/myapppath".
When done - change it back.
Facebook has added test versions feature.
First, add a test version of your application: Create Test App
Then, change the Site URL to "http://localhost" under Website, and press Save Changes
That's all, but be careful: App ID and App Secret keys are different for the application and its test versions!
I suggest creating a test app (for dev environment only) on https://developers.facebook.com/apps and set: Website with Facebook Login property to your localhost:[port] settings.
this option will work fine with no need to change hosts.
remember to change the appId back to your production app once you go live.
Edit - in the latest fb version you'll find it under the settings tab.
You don't have to do anything difficult!
Facebook → Settings → Basic: write "localhost" in the "App
Domains" field then click on "+Add Platform" choose "Web Site".
After that, in the "Site Url" field write your localhost url (e.g.: http://localhost:1337/something).
This will allow you to test your facebook plugins locally.
Facebook seemingly randomly disables the ability to set localhost as a domain on your facebook app. I found the easiest work around was to tunnel my localhost to the web. This can be done for free using http://progrium.com/localtunnel/ or with a custom url (easier since you don't have to change url everytime in facebook) https://showoff.io
I couldn't use the other solutions... What worked for me was installing LocalTunnel.net (https://github.com/danielrmz/localtunnel-net-client), and then using the resulting url on Facebook.
Looks like FB just changed the app dev page again and added a feature called "Server IP Whitelist".
Go to your app and Select Settings -> Advanced Tab
Get your public IP (google will tell you if you google "Whats My IP")
Add your public IP to the Server IP Whitelist and click Save Changes at the bottom
go to canvas page..
view it in browser.. copy the address bar text.
now go to your facebook app
go to edit settings
in website, in site url paste that address
in facebook integration , again paste the that address in canvas url
and also the same code wherever you require canvas url or redirect url..
hope it will help..

Just a few notes to complement the excellent answer of #Erdal_G with my successful experience:
Apparently, HTTPS is needed even in the local environment (I used the library https-localhost).
[I don't know if this is mandatory] create a test app from the main app (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/development/build-and-test/test-apps/)
Set the redirect OAuth URI to https://localhost:<MY_PORT>/auth/ and update also all other URIs in .../instagram-basic-display/basic-display/ settings accordingly.
Finally, don't forget to use the client-id (aka app-id) and app-secret of the test app in the requests, which are different than the parent app
Create 2 apps and
In /initializers/env_variables.rb
if Rails.env == 'development'
ENV['FB_APP_ID'] = "HERE"
ENV["FB_SECRET"] = "HERE"
else
ENV['FB_APP_ID'] = "HERE"
ENV["FB_SECRET"] = "HERE"
end
