URL for Facebook App

Question

I don't have a website. So for trial purpose, I was using localhost(127.0.0.1) for my application. In facebook app settings, when I enter 127.0.0.1/myfblogin as URL, getting error as "is invalid because it is a Facebook url".

What is possible solution for this?

Answer 1

facebook does accept localhost as an appdomain. Just try http://localhost:8080/

Answer 2

Here is the solution for the question: Replacing the localhost by any wildcard DNS. I used 'fuf.me'. So my final URL becomes ' http://fuf.me:8080/myfblogin '.

For reference, refer to below link for more wild card DNS. http://www.fidian.com/programming/public-dns-pointing-to-localhost

These wildcard DNS redirect to localhost and are also accepted by facebook as app URL.

Answer 3

请在facebook app设置中使用http：//作为URL尝试您机器的私人IP地址。
