phpMyID configuration problems

Question

I have followed the instructions on the read me file and everything seems to be working but when I try to use my own domain address as my OpenID for stackoverflow, I get this error message:

Unable to log in with your OpenID provider:

Error occurred while sending a direct message or getting the response.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

UPDATE: So I tried to solve the problem on my own and I am not getting any errors now. What happens, however, is that I go from the stackoverflow page to my domain name page and never return.

phpMyID is an OpenId 1.0 provider, and stackoverflow seems to have some kind of problem with it. Your solution would be to login twice, and it will work (I've checked that it works, and the problem isn't limited to phpMyID).

You might want to test my new provider library that uses OpenID 2.0, avoiding this problem.

You have asked if it's possible to use sebkom.me as the openid url -- it is. For phpMyID, add:

<link rel="openid.server" href="http://sebkom.me/index.php"&gt;
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://sebkom.me/index.php"&gt;

For my library just invoke $op->server(); before any output (see example.php). If you decide to test my library, just ask me directly with any questions.
