Devise omniauth-facebook redirect_uri Url must absolute

Question

My Rails app when I tried to integrate gem "omniauth-facebook" with devise, I receive the following error on facebook: The redirect_uri URL must be absolute.

Following were my config

devise.rb

config.omniauth :facebook, "ID", "SECRET",callback_url: "/auth/facebook"

My user.rb model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable, :omniauthable, :omniauth_providers => [:facebook]

  def self.from_omniauth(auth)
        where(provider: auth.provider, uid: auth.uid).first_or_create do |user|
        user.email = auth.info.email
        user.password = Devise.friendly_token[0,20]
        user.name = auth.info.name   # assuming the user model has a name
        user.image = auth.info.image # assuming the user model has an image
      end
    end
end

My routes:

devise_for :users, :controllers => {:omniauth_callbacks => "users/omniauth_callbacks"}

And Controller OmniauthCallbacksController

class Users::OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController
    def facebook
    # You need to implement the method below in your model (e.g. app/models/user.rb)
    @user = User.from_omniauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"])

    if @user.persisted?
      sign_in_and_redirect @user, :event => :authentication #this will throw if @user is not activated
      set_flash_message(:notice, :success, :kind => "Facebook") if is_navigational_format?
    else
      session["devise.facebook_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"]
      redirect_to new_user_registration_url
    end
  end

  def failure
    redirect_to root_path
  end
end

What am I missing here?

Adding

:client_options => {:ssl => {:ca_file => '/usr/lib/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt'}}

To config.omniauth in the initializer solved the issue for me.

I also configured the path to be absolute like so:

callback_url: ENV['SERVER_ROOT']+'/users/auth/facebook/callback'
