Hi!

We are also getting this error on latest version.

Error (400)
It seems the app you were using submitted a bad request. If you would like to report this error to the app’s developer, include the information below.

More details for developers

Invalid redirect_uri. When response_type=code, only localhost URIs can start with “http://”; all others must start with “https://”.

@kolate, were you able to fix this?
I am also facing the same issue.

Below are the steps I have done so far;

  1. Created Dropbox app as shown below

  2. edited /home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/sitename/site_config.jason
    from
    {
    “db_name”: “XXXXXXXXXX”,
    “db_password”: “XXXXXXXXXX”,
    “encryption_key”: “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”,
    “limits”: {
    “space_usage”: {
    “backup_size”: 21.0,
    “database_size”: 49.48,
    “files_size”: 242.0,
    “total”: 312.48
    }
    }
    }

to
{
“db_name”: “XXXXXXXXXX”,
“db_password”: “XXXXXXXXXX”,
“dropbox_access_key”: “ACCESSKEY”,
“dropbox_secret_key”: “SECRECTKEY”,
“encryption_key”: “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”,
“limits”: {
“space_usage”: {
“backup_size”: 21.0,
“database_size”: 49.48,
“files_size”: 242.0,
“total”: 312.48
}
}
}

can you set redirect url.

Also redirect url is wrong in current frappe version.
You need to change redirect url and add ssl.

Dropbox have updates their API’s. Now with new API you have to specify redirect Uri in your app.

Also http is only valid if redirect URL is localhost, for all other domains you need https.

Thanks Kolkate, Saurabh

How could I add SSL for my erpNext site? I am having a self hosted server.

@fasilkaks you can take ssl from lets encrypt.

@kolkate

installed SSL following Setting up TLS SSL certificates Let's Encrypt for ERPNext sites · frappe/erpnext Wiki · GitHub

The installation was successful. Does this mean that my site now will work with https:// ?

If yes, I am missing something as I can’t get my site with https:// and is still working fine with http://

@fasilkaks
I have found one hack to this issue.

In dropbox setting you can directly acc dropbox access token, let me know when you online tomorrow.
At that case no need to do ssl certificate.
