Question

I’m using the following step by step guide to connect to Facebook Connect:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ee702803.aspx

However I have a problem at the ‘Authentication and Initiating a Session’ stage.

When I go through the steps, I click on ‘Connect’ in my browser, which opens a popup, where I login to Facebook and ‘Allow’ the application to access my account. I’m then redirected to the filename I specify in thw 2nd parameter of the javascript function ‘FB.init’.

However, this page then displays:

Please sign-in with Facebook.

Why is this happening?
I’m developing this on localhost, I don’t know if that could cause a problem? Please help! Thanks.

Answer 1

I ran into a similar problem where I could not test Facebook on localhost. Due to security requirements from Facebook you must test from the domain you used to register your application.

Create a dev.yourname.com subdomain and test it there.
