SOLUTION: Facebook account internal server error

[Lieutenant_Dan]

SOLUTION FOUND: LOOK AT MY 2ND POST, or 3rd POST IN THE THREAD.


Hi All,

New to the forum, apologies ahead of time for any n00bness. I am trying to connect my Facebook account (not using the android for Facebook app found in the marketplace) through the motorblur "add account" short cut, but I receive an error that states "An internal server error has occurred."

Thanks ahead of time.

I am also having this exact same issue.

Solution found

Hey, just going to respond here because I found a solution.

It looks as if i was really anal retentive about what applications facebook talked to and disallowed the use of any applications to interact with facebook. This lead to the the "Internal server error" when trying to add the facebook account to motoblur. This can be fixed using the following:

Account-> Privacy Settings-> Apps & Websites -> Edit Settings-> Turn on platform apps

This should allow you to connect to facebook. It worked for me.

Thank you! Worked perfectly.

not working seems like an issue with https which is now mandatory for using facebook! :-/

And it was necessary to dig up a dead 4+ yr old thread that is out of date due to all the fb app updates?

To have peace of mind that I've tried everything before I give up, yes!
