FB Login stopped working

Not stupid questions at all.. no such thing when it comes to Facebook integration, this stuff is complex.

For the jfbcchannel.php file, 644 should be all you need. However, if you're on Linux, you'll want to make sure the owner of the file is proper too. Ideally, I'd make sure that the same settings are on that file that are on the main index.php file in the root Joomla folder. Configure it the same, and it should work, since Joomla already works. You shouldn't need to alter the directory permissions, but if you do have issues there, make sure each directory along the path of /components/com_jfbconnect/assets/ is 755 and, again, owned by the same user as the main Joomla index.php file.

On a side note, you should not have any files on your site marked as 777. That's a bad security setting and can cause you big headaches later on.

Finally, for that error log file, I'm not sure what that is. I'd recommend getting the settings above correct, delete the log file, see if you can access that page like I mentioned, and then see if the log file recreates itself. There is nothing in that file (or JFBConnect in general) that's trying to do anything with SQLite.. and that file shouldn't be touching the MySQL database either. That could be a PHP configuration issue or something else. We'll have to see after the permissions are fixed (if that's really what the problem is).

Thanks,

Your FB Page and your Application are actually very separate. A change there shouldn't have any affect on your site's use of Facebook Connect for logging in. Our Facebook Page was recently updated to the new layout as well (www.facebook.com/SourceCoast) . Feel free to try logging in here again and see if you have the same problem.

The jfbcchannel.php file is still throwing the 500 error. I am able to access a CSS file out of the same directory (www.marchmelee.com/components/com_jfbcon...ssets/jfbconnect.css). So, the directory permissions seem right. There seems to be something preventing that php file from executing though. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is that would cause that if the permissions and owner are correct. Can you look at your PHP or Apache error logs to see if there is any notification in there as to why the file can't be executed? I don't have a lot of other guesses at this point as to what may be causing it, but that file needs to be able to run if you go directly to it without throwing the internal server error message...

Kevin,
That would definitely explain it. JFBConnect has a database table that is what we use to 'map' a Joomla user ID to their corresponding Facebook identifier. Everything is based on the Joomla ID never changing, which it never really should. While the change from Akeeba is a good recommendation, it will cause problems like this with any extension that does a user mapping (forums, profile systems, etc).

Glad you found the issue. If you need to manually update the user-mapping for JFBConnect, we recommend going into the "User Map" area of JFBConnect, delete the mapping for your user, changing the ID with Akeeba and then re-connecting with Facebook.

Hope that helps, and glad you found the problem. Was pretty confused myself.
