Invalid State Error on localhost quickstart deployment

Get Help

Hey there,
this is a problem I think others have been facing, but I couldn’t find a conclusive answer. I am using the quick-start php project, and whenever I log in, I get the following PHP error on /callback

Fatal error: Uncaught Auth0\SDK\Exception\StateException: Invalid state in /Users/timothytownsend/Desktop/auth0/vendor/auth0/auth0-php/src/Exception/StateException.php:24 Stack trace: #0 /Users/timothytownsend/Desktop/auth0/vendor/auth0/auth0-php/src/Auth0.php(323): Auth0\SDK\Exception\StateException::invalidState() #1 /Users/timothytownsend/Desktop/auth0/index.php(52): Auth0\SDK\Auth0->exchange('http://127.0.0....') #2 [internal function]: {closure}() #3 /Users/timothytownsend/Desktop/auth0/vendor/steampixel/simple-php-router/src/Steampixel/Route.php(103): call_user_func_array(Object(Closure), Array) #4 /Users/timothytownsend/Desktop/auth0/index.php(64): Steampixel\Route::run('') #5 {main} thrown in /Users/timothytownsend/Desktop/auth0/vendor/auth0/auth0-php/src/Exception/StateException.php on line 24

Everything looks to be installed correctly, so I am not sure why it won’t work.
If anyone has any answers, that would be great.
Thanks, Tim

Hey there!

Can I ask you to raise it as a GitHub issue in the quickstart repo:

so we can address that directly with maintainers? Once you have a link to it you can share it here so we can ping them

I’m experiencing this same issue with the PHP SDK, I am new to Auth0, but basically same issue as outlined in the thread. Is there any update with regards to why this is happening? Oddly I don’t get this locally, only when deployed to an online host etc… i’ve tried a few.

Hey dhi,
I am not sure what you’ve done here, but maybe check your application’s allowed callback URLs, they may be the source of the error?

My issue was due to Nginx, when disabled on the remote server the exchange worked no problem as it did locally where I wasn’t using Nginx. This however is not ideal disabling Nginx. I spent way to much time on this would be good to understand if this in-fact is a known issue with Auth0 and the php-sdk?

Thank you everyone for sharing all this context!
