   The above error is displayed after clicking 'Sign into twitter' from the dashboard.

   The corresponding errors (site name removed because it's a dev site) are below:

   This issue seems to be caused by Twitter API handing back a 401 response during the whole getRequestToken bit.

   Twitter seems to be returning 'Failed to validate oauth signature and token'

   After digging, I realize this is the same issue I've had in different applications.

   The problem here is the nonce that is generated contains a timestamp. If the server time is not up to date than the validation portion fails on their side. Not entirely sure how you can catch that in code but if it comes up again, that is indeed the place to start.

   I guess I should be a little more clear for other users:

   The problem is your system time is off. To fix this, you or your system admin or hosting company needs to run '/usr/sbin/ntpdate pool.ntp.org'.

   lordnynex, may I ask who you are talking with? You were the topic starter. :)

   Well, so do I get it right that the issue was caused by a server time misconfiguration?
