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?”
>
> 
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:
Our configurations are as follows:
**Facebook**
* * *
## **Google** 
**Discourse**

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

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

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.

@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!

Ali, I am getting the same error, can you explain your solution to me a little better?
