facebook url login

I've added facebook login to my site. However, when I click the button, I get a red box that says:

Invalid Argument

Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.

If I continue to login then I get:

API Error Code: 100
API Error Description: Invalid parameter
Error Message: next is not owned by the application.

Not sure exactly what the problem is. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Your settings must be incorrect.

Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/ and edit the application you're working on.

On the "website" tab, look for "Site URL". This should be set to your website's URL "http://yoursite.com/"

Note that if you're using subdomains, you'll also need to update "Site Domain" to be "yoursite.com"
