Yet another Facebook OAuth error 500 - facebook

Today I moved my facebook application to nodejitsu and I couldn't figure out what was wrong in the oauth/dialog GET request.
I validated that I had:
added the new application domains to my application settings
the redirect URI was good, for example, app.nodejitsu.com
I played around so much with these properties and I didn't figure out why it was still giving me a 500 error. I checked most of the posts on stackoverflow and although they all seemed to be valid errors, they didn't seem to reflect my issue.

This is how I found my problem.
After migrating the app to nodejitsu my localhost app still worked. So I decided to remove localhost from the accepted app domains in the facebook settings. When I tested it again I got this 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."
Ok, so this made my think. If the problem was with an incorrect domain I would still get this message for nodejitsu, so I had an error with the request I reckoned.
I manually edited the request and I figured out that my redirect_uri did not start with http.
I changed this and it worked.

Cant Use Facebook API on AppEngine

So, I have this grade project where I have to do a mashup and deploy it on AppEngine. So, everything is fine, and I even got it working some months ago, but when I deployed the project again after doing some changes and updating the facebook api, it no longer works.
Thing is, it does works on localhost. The error only occurs when deployed. It's only a normal publish post POST.
So, here's the error:
The URL was blocked: Redirection has failed because the URI is not incluided in the list of OAuth authorised of the application client. Check that the OAuth access of both client and web are active and add all the domains of your apps as OAuth redirection URI
This was translated from spanish so it might not be totally accurate.
So, it seems easy, but I don't really know if the proble is that I have to do something in the configuration of appengine control panel (most likely), in the configuration of the facebook api control panel or if it's something in the project code. I've checked everywhere and have the faint memory of solving this several months ago, but I can't anymore.
Thanks!
For Facebook login, you need to tell Facebook the URI of the page that the login will start from. If you change the URI, then the login process will break. You can set the URI from this page:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/1234567890/fb-login/
Except that you need your app id in there instead of 1234567890. You can get there from here:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps

Having an issue with phonegap facebook login without plugin

I have a phonegap app in iOS and I'm trying to do a login with facebook. I'm using the javascript sdk. When I try to use fb.getlogin status or fb.login, not sure which, it gives me this 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 have searched for this error, obviously, but nothing seems to solve my issue.
I looked in the facebook app settings, and everything seems to be in order.
I'm probably crazy for asking this with so little detail, but, any suggestions, ideas?
I have never used their SDK but I would have to guess that you are making the javascript calls from within your app and the SDK is saying that it doesnt recognize the URL that the call is coming from. Even though your phone doesn't have a URL (though you could give it one but that is a whole different story) it does still have an IP and that IP isnt matching what FB is expecting. I am sure you registered for a FB developer account or something like that and it asked for a URL of where the calls would be coming from. That needs to match. I dont know how you would get around this. I think you need to use the plugin.

Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.: One or more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings

This error appears in the authentication process:
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.
Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?
I ran into this issue when I was doing some learning exercises a few days ago while creating a Facebook app and using Heroku as the host. My problem was that I had the wrong URL in my Facebook app settings for the "Website with Facebook Login" field value.
Also, for some hosts the URL may change depending on settings etc., so check your hosting URLs for the app and make sure you have the correct URL in that field on Facebook app settings.
Once I updated mine, the error went away and all is fine.
Good Luck!

If you are on your development machine, be sure that you don't mix up localhost:3000 with 0.0.0.0:3000. Although on your development machine it is practically the same thing, the Facebook API won't recognise this and will return the error. Make sure the url is exactly the same everywhere.

Facebook login error: Given URL is not permitted by the application configuration.:

I am creating a facebook login on my site, following this guide: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/login/getting-started/
I started out by creating an app on facebook, then used the app ID in my code. After completing step 2 in the guide, i wanted to test for errors. I keep getting the above error "Given URL is not permitted by the application configuration.: One or more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings...."
To resolve the issue, i tried to change the app website URL to http://www.mywebpage.com/index.html. That didn't do anything....
Any ideas?
Thanx
Also double check your app ID. I was using a test app id while developing locally and forgot to switch it back to the real app ID.
Double check your App settings. Usually absolute URLs can cause errors. Adding the root URL (without www if you have subdomains) mywebsite.com in your App domain would probably solve your issue.

Facebook newbie - can't login to application - gettin an error with no helpful information

I'm trying to implement my first Facebook application, and I'm stuck on the very first coding step.
I created an application on the Facebook website, I got my application ID and I'm doing an ASP.NET app to test the authentication. It has just one line:
Response.Redirect(
"https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=MYAPPID&redirect_uri=localhost");
When I run it, it redirects to facebook and I get:
An error occurred with MYAPPNAME. Please try again later.
It fetches the app name, so the ID is correct and there is very little else that I could have got wrong :-)
I also tried using other URLs instead of localhost, and I'm currently arranging for a VPS to try it with a publicly deployed web app in case it doesn't work with a local one.
Searching only found me lots of posts complaining about similar issues - but not the same one. I found this question that looks quite similar, but the confirmed answer speaks about editing FB.init() which is I guess part of some SDK, so not applicable for me.
Your redirect uri must be a url that is within the domain that you configured in your application set up. As noted in the documentation.
"The redirect_uri must be within the same domain as the Site URL you specify in Web site tab of the Developer App"
