Twitter oAuth callbackUrl - localhost development

Question

Is anyone else having a difficult time getting Twitters oAuth\'s callback URL to hit their localhost development environment. Apparently it has been disabled recently. http:

Answer 1

I was working with Twitter callback url on my localhost. If you are not sure how to create a virtual host ( this is important ) use Ampps. He is really cool and easy. In a few steps you have your own virtual host and then every url will work on it. For example:

1. download and install ampps

2. Add new domain. ( here you can set for example twitter.local) that means your virtual host will be http://twitter.local and it will work after step 3.

3. I am working on Win so go under to your host file -> C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts and add line: 127.0.0.1 twitter.local

Restart your Ampps and you can use your callback. You can specify any url, even if you are using some framework MVC or you have htaccess url rewrite.

Hope This Help! Cheers.
