What is next?
If you did everything as indicated above, then your site should be installed and ready to run, but before you do this you need to configure oAuth (Login via Facebook, Twitter or Google) login system
Here is an example of how to do it
- Login to your site
-
Go to Contol panel
Or open this link (http://your-site-domain.com/admin_panel) replacing the "your-site-domain.com" with your domain
The oAuth configuration page looks like this
Callback urls for each provider should be like below
- https://www.YOUR-SITE.COM/oauth/twitter
- https://www.YOUR-SITE.COM/oauth/google
- https://www.YOUR-SITE.COM/oauth/facebook
SMTP server configuration
Another important point is setting up the SMTP configuration of your site. Otherwise, the user registration system will not work.
