Authenticators broken in 2.0.14 fresh install?

ddumont · November 2010

I've followed the instructions here: http://vanillaforums.com/blog/help-tutorials/how-to-add-facebook-twitter-google-and-openid-to-your-community

Basically, I'm able to enable the plugins. (openid and google)
But when I go to [Users->Authentication] and try to activate the authenticator, the page flashes and "Current Authenticator" still says "Password"

When I log out to try the connectors, they show up in the login screen.
When I click on the openid or google buttons, they just pop open a new instance of the same login window, not the correct login window for google or openid.

I've set up facebook successfully. It appears that only OpenID and Google auth are having this problem..
:(

I just set up twitter, it does not appear to work either. Basically twitter, openid, and google auth do not redirect to the appropriate login page when it opens a new window. It still shows a mydomain.com address and my login page.

Facebook seems to work fine. I get no errors, even when setting the config to use deverror instead.

I reinstalled the forum, and now I got OpenID working but Google Auth is giving me trouble

No servers found!
The error occurred on or near: /home/canofsle/public_html/test/plugins/OpenID/class.lightopenid.php
368: $this->server = $server;
369: return $server;
370: }
371:
372: throw new ErrorException('No servers found!');
373: }
374: throw new ErrorException('Endless redirection!');
375: }

@Tim any ideas?

ddumont · November 2010

I'm surprised that you haven't gotten more feedback on this yet. This process seems very error prone :(

Trying Facebook login. I grant permission and it asks me to pick a unique user name. I provide one, a password field flashes visible and then hides again. I get a red box saying I need to provide a unique user name.... Stuck on this one.

Twitter seems to log me in after I grant permission. The account is auto created ( I don't get to pick a username ) but the email address for the user profile created is [twitterusername]@foo.com :-/

Google Auth is failing with the error in the previous post. I have not tried openID.

How exactly do you have this working on the vanilla site here? Can you share some of the fixes you've run across? Or are you planning an update release soon?

Tim · November 2010

@Todd should take a look at this. I agree the error messages are a bit... confusing.

Todd · November 2010

.org is using the exact same code that is available to you so I am a bit surprised you are having so many problems.

Can you give me an idea of the browser you are using?
Do you have htaccess enabled?
Can you paste the exact url into the discussion so I can have a look?

ddumont · November 2010

I've tried with IE8, Chrome 8 latest beta... There seems to be no difference in the errors.

I'll pm you the info to try yourself.

Todd · November 2010

I think your web server might not have allow_url_fopen enabled in your php.ini. Can you check on this?

ddumont · November 2010

Ahh! Thank you that fixed almost everything!

The only issue that remains is that twitter accounts have a twittername@foo.com email address when created. Any ideas?

Todd · November 2010

Actually, that is a known issue that I'll have to deal with.

ddumont · November 2010

Ok. I'll disable twitter sign-in till I hear about an update for the plugin.

greenlizard · November 2010

What about this issue: I can log in with Twitter, but after I've authenticated through the pop up box, I don't get auto redirected to the main forum page. In fact, I don't get redirected at all, it just stays on the "redirecting" page. If I exit the pop up box and refresh my forum, I'm logged in. So, I just gotta figure out what is stopping it from redirecting... My forum is embedded and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

virtualdavid · November 2010

I'm having the exact same error that started this post and I'm dying to know what was the reason for the "Ahh! Thank you that fixed almost everything!"

What is the fix?

ddumont · November 2010

"allow_url_fopen enabled in your php.ini"

virtualdavid · November 2010

Not sure how to do that. As soon as I find out I'll edit this post unless someone can tell me how before then. Thanks for the lead.

ddumont · November 2010

Mine was

.htaccess
suPHP_ConfigPath /path/to/public_html/php.ini

php.ini
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Fopen wrappers ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Whether to allow the treatment of URLs (like http:// or ftp://) as files.
allow_url_fopen = On

@tim moshimo's comment is clearly SPAM - shouldn't the flagging plugin be enabled ?

Lincoln · November 2010

@DavyB Got it, thanks.

"allow_url_fopen enabled in your php.ini"

My host admin changed this file for me as it does not show in my Cpanel. However after he changed it I still get this error message:

I'm having the same problem, I can not install the OpenID or Facebook plugin. It says "This plugin requires the allow_url_fopen php.ini setting." I contacted the admin of my server and now allow_url_open is on but is still not working. You can check my info here: http://www.guirilandia.com/info.php

Thanks...

Howdy, Stranger!
