Gerald: The callback URL is probably not the problem here; the oauth.gmodules.com/gadgets/oauthcallback URL will simply close the OAuth approval popup window.
Mohammed: a few suggestions: 1) Check your log files. If you don't know where they are, either go find them, or stop running a local Shindig. 2) Try running your gadget on iGoogle or any other production Shindig deployment. Or explain why you're running a local Shindig. 3) Don't run servers if you don't know where the log files are. 4) Start with simple examples that are known to work, such as the OAuth demo gadget that ships with Shindig, or the example here: http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/oauth.html. Then write your own code. Then modify pieces individually.
