title: Joomla 1.7 - Failed login gets 500 error
body: <p>When a user logs in to the front end incorrectly, they get a 500 error page.</p>
  
  <p>In previous installations, the page just refreshes. Ideally, I'd like an error message displayed but this isn't happening either (even on previous installations). I assumed that this was achieved by:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;jdoc:include type="message" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Paths to log/tmp files are correct. Permissions seem OK. Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
