We installed 1.7.0.beta4 on a Digital Ocean droplet. Everything is working great, except for signup via Facebook and Google Logins (haven’t tried others). The user authorization process works fine (Sign Up → Redirect to Google or Facebook → User clicks Approve → Redirects back to Discourse), and the Discourse app is added successfully to the Google / Facebook user accounts; but once user returns to Discourse, this error message is displayed, and no user is created in Discourse: “Sorry, there was an error authorizing your account. Perhaps you did not approve authorization?” [image] There’s nothing in browser debug Console/Network that suggests what the problem is. Here’s a snapshot of the Console output after a Facebook sign up attempt: [image] Our configurations are as follows: Facebook [image] [image] [image] [image] Google [image][image] Discourse [image] [image]

@sam @codinghorror Solved the issue. I was getting the same generic error message upon failure, which made it seem like it’s the same issue on both sides. The error was with the config (enabling Google+ API and Contacts API on Google, and incomplete secret code on Facebook!) and the /logs page saved the day Sorry for the false alarm!

Are you on the very latest code? @sam did anything change here recently that would affect both forms of login?

We’re on 1.7.0.beta4 which the Admin page is showing as the latest

No, I mean did you do an /admin/upgrade or ssh in and upgrade via console – those are the weekly or bi-weekly versions. I need you to be on the very latest.

Will do that right now. Last update happened few days ago via admin dashboard (/admin), not ssh

Nope nothing changed that should cause that, oauth for google is untouched

Just finished updating to the latest: discourse is at the newest version (91dac00). Tried both Facebook and Google logins, got the same error as before.
