OSQA facebook. Cannot find authentication tokens + api is undefined

Question

I installed OSQA at mydomain.com/ask using the Webfaction script, and then followed the osqa wiki to add the facebook login. (copied to external keys the api and app secret)

In the "testing" phase, when I try to add a new provider and get redirected to the login I receive the error:

The authentication with Facebook connect failed, cannot find
authentication tokens

When I inspect element with chrome I see the

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method
'get_session' of undefined (anonymous function)
/ask/account/signin/:244

Also, when using firebug I see,

TypeError: api is undefined
Reload the page to get source for: http://www.mydomain.com/ask/account/signin/

which upon reload leads me to

FB.init called with invalid parameters ..... en_US (line 62)
The "fb-root" div has not been created, auto-creating ..... en_US (line 64)
FB.init has already been called - this could indicate a problem ...en_US (line 62)

Has anybody had a similar problem with the OSQA facebook login? Any tips are appreciated.

The facebookauth module supplied with the latest official OSQA release (v0.9.0 beta 3) is obsolete and does not work with Facebook's current API.

To fix it, you can replace that module with the one from a svn checkout of OSQA:

cd ~/webapps/your_app
svn co http://svn.osqa.net/svnroot/osqa/trunk
mv ./osqa/forum_modules/facebookauth ./facebookauth.old
cp -r ./trunk/forum_modules/facebookauth ./osqa/forum_modules/
./apache2/bin/restart

Hope that helps!
