"Suspicious connect_url" message

Same thing with D7. I get the same thing repeated several times.

I've tried re-syncing from the FB module. I've tried manually setting and resetting the url with both www and non-www options on both my Facebook app and the FB module.

Thx.

This is a warning from the fb_devel.modue that you don't have to worry too much about. It is intended to catch problems where a database is copied from a live site to a development site. In that case it is important to change the facebook app settings to a new app, for the development site.

Hosting a facebook app is a two way street. Your server talks to facebook and facebook to your server. So if you configured things on drupal by visiting https://www.example.com/...., facebook will reach your application over https. Then if you log into your site at http://example.com/... the module is warning you that the site is at that URL, but facebook will reach the server via another URL (https://...) In this case you can ignore the warning. If the URL were say www.example.com and dev.example.com, then you'd have a problem that needs to be fixed.

I get this error message even thought I don't have a separate dev site.

The Facebook Application labeled examplefbapp has a suspicious connect_url. The value is http://www.example.com/, while something starting with http://example.com was expected. Consider editing thoughtcannonfbapp.

Facebook integration in general is very buggy around my site, but this is the only error message I'm getting and I'm thinking it's not as benign as it is being made out to be.

If I get this message without a dev environment and with all of the settings using a matching url (http://example.com), then is it not indicative of a more serious problem? Any help on removing this is appreciated.

Also, the error message shows up twice in a row.

Thx.

I am now also getting this message even though I have changed no settings:

The Facebook Application labeled examplefbapp has a suspicious callback_url. The value is http://www.example/fb_cb/76360edcf1f27fe17gf0f6653ba9b48/, while something starting with http://thoughtcannon.net was expected. Consider editing thoughtcannonfbapp.

Tried to sync again. This is the first attempt I have made to change anything since my comment on March 25th.

In addition to errors above it returned this:

Are you saying we should create a different app for the dev site?

Yes, absolutely. While you might not strictly have to, it's a very bad idea to use the same app, and you could easily screw things up.

It would be nice to have a way of setting the url that it sends to facebook.

It sends values that are correct for the vast majority of cases. But if the values are wrong, uncheck the "set props automatically" checkbox, and it will not adjust any settings automatically.

it says "An error occurred with MyfbApp. Please try again later."

I still don't think that's related to this warning. If www.Example.com is some local domain name like "localhost", they expect problems. You need a domain that can be reached from facebook's servers.

I get this error message even thought I don't have a separate dev site.

Because you're using domain name with and without the "www". Pick one and stick with it.

That database error sounds serious but off-topic. Please open a new thread if that's still happening.

I made changes to make sure that all sites were pointing to the same www domain, but that didn't work until I changed my htaccess file to only allow www. Not sure if that helps anyone.

I found that I was getting this message because I'd used the same dev app for two different drupal sites. The fix was to run the sync command to update from the current website then to find the remaining offending addresses on the FB app settings page and change them. All the best.

It's telling me it is expecting a connect URL like "example.com/sites/all/modules/ad". Clearly not correct. All my addresses/URLs on the Facebook side are correct. I've deleted the application and re-created it. Any ideas why it's looking in such a strange subdirectory?

No idea, but I wonder if disabling ad.module will make it go away.
