Instead of an upgrade and to see what happens if I do a clean install, I downloaded 2.0.17.8 and I am still getting the same error message. This has become a frustrating experience with the google plugin.
@ArrantSquid Did you have a chance to test? I'm hoping you got further than I did.
I had issues with Google Sign In. First of all, you have to switch on OpenID plugin. If it doesn't work, you have to replace the file "class.lightopenid.php" in directory plugins/OpenID with it's newer version (you can find it here http://tinyurl.com/4gqvyce -- click "Raw blob data" and make sure you're saving this file with the name "class.lightopenid.php" replacing the old one).
In newer version developers don't use deprecated PHP functions and use cURL instead. It works for me. Hope you'll enjoy the solution.
I get the following error when try to sign in: Fatal Error in LightOpenID.discover();
No servers found!
The error occurred on or near: ...\plugins\OpenID\class.lightopenid.php
372: throw new ErrorException('No servers found!'); Vanilla Version: 2.0.17.8 PHP Version: 5.3.0 Browser independent. Can anybody help, please?
So, after some debugging... In class.lightopenid.php line 178, the function get_headers($url) returns nothing for the url https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id. Any idea?
new to vanilla, very interested in using it - especially with Google Login since all my clientele have Google accounts. Doesn't work yet though on fresh install (in subdirectory www.domain.com/forums) You don't have permission to access /forums/entry/openid on this server. Possible solutions in this thread didn't work for me. Any solution available soon?
--edit--
Got it fixed, it appeared to be a server issue: the '403 Forbidden' error page that Google Login gave, was caused by mod_sec security setting blocking certain GET parameters. Got my site whitelisted for mod_sec (at hostgator), now works flawlessly.
I got my site whitelisted at the support desk of my hosting provider (HostGator).
Google signin did work straight away at another hosting provider I have, that's why I figured it had to be a server issue. I found the following topic at my hosting provider which shows similar problems: http://forums.hostgator.com/google-openid-response-triggering-403-t47709.html That's how I came up with this mod_sec thing, I don't really understand what it is/does either.
To be sure, remember I got a 403 Forbidden error page (in page title pop-up), along with the message: "You don't have permission to access /forums/entry/openid on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
Confirmed. It is server related, I had the same problem and contacted my host. They disabled the mod_security for my vanilla installation subdomain. Problem solved, but it leads me to another question regarding security. Is there any drawbacks with the mod_sec disabled?

Fixed bugs in OpenID and GoogleSignIn where redirect targets were not getting sent to the signin.

I just updated to 2.0.17.8 and google login is still the same problem. What about you?

@Alibaba31337 I'll give this a try so hopefully it'll work.
If not, I can tell them not to convert to vanilla and stick with vbulletin or xenforo. At least I tried.

I too keep getting a 404 error page at my own site in the pop-up whenever I try logging in with Google ID.
