Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Google_Auth_Exception' with message 'Error refreshing the OAuth2 token, message: '{ "error" : "invalid_grant" }

Question

I have a Prediction app that's based on Google-api-php client version 1.0.0 latest. it's perfectly working in the localhost environment. but when I deploy same exact app into the hosting server environment it's gave me following issue.

THIS IS THE ERROR I GOT FROM HOSTING ENVIRONMENT

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Google_Auth_Exception' with message 'Error refreshing the OAuth2 token, message: '{ "error" : "invalid_grant" }'' in /home/predict/public_html/predict/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php:335 Stack trace: #0 /home/predict/public_html/predict/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php(294): Google_Auth_OAuth2->refreshTokenRequest(Array) #1 /home/predict/public_html/predict/index.php(40): Google_Auth_OAuth2->refreshTokenWithAssertion(Object(Google_Auth_AssertionCredentials)) #2 {main} thrown in /home/predict/public_html/predict/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php on line 335

*CURL and JSON extensions are working properly under Hosting environment.

THIS IS MY WHOLE SOURCE CODE

Answer 1

I ave just had hours of trying to solve this problem. It turned out that my server's time was a couple of minutes ahead of google's time.

Setting my Server time to the correct time fixed this issue immediately.

Hopefully this helps someone :)
