Facebook newbie - cannot log into the application - gettin error without any useful information

I am trying to implement my first Facebook application and I am stuck at the very first stage of coding.

I created the application on the Facebook website, got my application id, and I am making an ASP.NET authentication application. It has only one line:

Response.Redirect (
"https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=MYAPPID&redirect_uri=localhost");

When I run it, it redirects to facebook and I get:

An error has occurred with MYAPPNAME. Please try again later.

It retrieves the name of the application, so the identifier is correct, and there is very little else that I could be wrong :-)

I also tried using different URLs instead of localhost, and I am currently planning to use VPS to try it with a widely deployed web application if it doesn’t work with the local one.

The search found only a lot of posts complaining of similar problems, but not the same. I found this question that looks pretty similar, but the confirmed answer says a change to FB.init (), which I think is part of some SDK, so it is not applicable to me.

Your redirect urid should be the URL that is in the domain configured in your application. As noted in the documentation .

"The redirect_uri must be within the same domain as the Site URL you specify in Web site tab of the Developer App"
