[Plugin: Twitter Tools] Error when clicking on "connect to twitter"

I have a similar error. When I click on “connect to twitter” on config page /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=twitter-tools.php

After click URL is /wp-admin/options-general.php and my browser shows a blank page

I am getting the same error after clicking on Connect to Twitter.

/wp-admin/options-general.php in my browser shows a blank page in Firefox and 500 Internal Server Error in IE.

I deleted and recreated my twitter app 2x and that does not fix it.

Same deal. 500 internal sever error when clicking “Connect to Twitter”. Nothing in php/apache logs. Ubuntu Meerkat, apache2, PHP Version 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.10.

FYI, given the radio silence here, I just posted this on Quora:

I posted to ServerFault: https://serverfault.com/questions/395452/why-does-the-wordpress-twitter-tools-plugin-give-a-500-internal-server-error

I don’t understand why the developer doesn’t answer, I post more than 3 month ago !!!

Twitter Tools is no longer supported, see https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/54207/why-does-the-wordpress-twitter-tools-plugin-give-a-500-internal-server-error/54211#54211

@morrisjm, thanks a lot for hunting this down! Will be looking for other plugins for cross-posting between WP and Twitter.

Apparently there is a beta version out that [does/will] work with WP 3.0. See the answer in the Quora link by Schuurmudgeon above. Haven’t tested it myself; found another plugin that does what I need.

Thx @morrisjm. What plugin did you decide to go with?

After reading Alex King’s blog posts on Twitter Tools 3.0 beta 2 and Social 2.5, it seems to me that the best way to go about it is by installing Social first, which will serve as a platform “on top of which” the new Twitter Tools can run (without having to set up your own API calls to Twitter!).

I’ll probably wait for Twitter Tools 3.0 until it comes out of beta. But I must wonder what it will add to the already impressive feature list of Social.

Just ran into this problem and found a fix for it.
