If It Fails, Try using Another Computer. If It Fails Again, You Can Update Your Server’s Internal Clock… It Should Be Working Good Again After You Do These 2 Options…

Hi there, guys I have same problem, even dont know what to do, in my local it works fine , but on server I am getting that popular error “Failed to validate oauth signature and token”, I tried to fix server clock, but it’s ok, and I can see more then 5 minutes delta.I am just thinking, I am in GMT+4 timezone, can this effect on this???

It’s possible this is still timezone conversion related… when you’re checking the delta, how are you comparing times? Are you looking at the Date header we’re sending in our responses, then either converting the string into epoch time in seconds or converting your local time object into epoch time in seconds, and comparing?

I failed to get Oauth ways today. It turned out that my Ubuntu has updated its time automatically with Windows system (I install both systems on my laptop). As I traveled abroad and I changed my time zone on my Windows. Linux changed with the Windows at the same time. But it did not change the time zone. Thus today I failed many times to get authentication. Finally I changed the time zone and time manually. And it gets to work again…
Yet I still don’t know why ubuntu would change with my windows since they are separated systems.

thanks in advance…

that same error like “failed to validate oauth signature and token”

Naga_Prabu · 2013-01-07T13:12:17.000Z

is there any new update in my php info() to avoid the error “Failed to validate oauth signature and token” ?

campbelljustin · 2013-05-01T17:10:36.000Z

This time thing is extremely dumb considering many developers don’t have the ability to control their server’s system time.

In the mean time: just request the headers from some random server (like Twitter!) parse out the Date returned, and then feed it back to them. Works like a charm, so far, albeit slower execution.

Dhawal
if you using api of Abhram Williams twitter auth api and if you get error like “Failed to validate oauth signature and token” open Oauth.php
Replace the existing function with this one
private static function generate_timestamp() {
date_default_timezone_set(‘UTC’);
return time();
}
or if you create you own api then oauth_timstamp param must be in UTC current timestamp
the error is occur due to timezone is not in UTC timezone this php function makes in that
date_default_timezone_set(‘UTC’);

650MartinB · 2013-06-28T13:40:39.000Z

Just for others this is due to the fact that time is saved in BIOS for both windows and Linux so changing it in any OS on a PC will change them all

Estava com o mesmo problema. Li que os colegas programadores conseguiram resolver quando acertaram o timestamp do servidor, resolvi tentar e “capixi”, funcionou. Eu estou utilizando um servidor Debian. Para acertar o timestamp do Debian eu apenas segui os passos em: https://wiki.debian.org/DateTime#Time_Administration_Tool_GUI, note que não realizei o update manual e sim instalei o ntp

Hello! I’ve replaced the function generate_timestamp() with yours but i’m still getting the error ‘Failed to validate oatuh signature and token’. I’m using windows, do you have any ideas??

adamandham · 2014-01-14T09:18:40.000Z

I checked the epoch time that was sent in the URL as well as the epoch time from the response header and they were just 15 seconds apart, but it still gives the aforementioned error message. Is there anything else that could be wrong? On my Twitter dev page it says “It looks like you haven’t authorized this application for your own Twitter account yet”, but the point is I’m trying to do that programmatically from PHP, so I shouldn’t have to do that from the dev portal, right?
