Question

I am having a weird issue, I have my local server running on my mac on mamp, and another server running uniserver on a windows machine, I am using twitteroAuth to use the twitter API, now everything is working fine on my machine but on the uniserver i get a 401 whenever i try to issue a getRequestToken, all i do is

    GLOBAL $twitter_key, $twitter_secret;
    $twitteroauth = new TwitterOAuth($twitter_key,$twitter_secret );

    $request_token = $twitteroauth->getRequestToken("http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."");

any one have any idea what could be going on here?

Thanks!

Daniel

Make sure the clock on the uniserver is correctly synced. If it varies from the time on Twitter’s servers by more than 5 minutes requests will fail. NTP is commonly used to keep clocks in sync.
