Yesterday, I noticed failed log in attempts on my site were throwing the user to the site error page instead of the "aww, we're sorry, your username/password is incorrect," page. With a little investigation on my site this error happens on the backend whenever I try to edit modules or articles that already exist. I can create new module instances and articles. Here's the error,

Error: 0 DateTime::__construct() [datetime.--construct]: Failed to parse time string (jerror) at position 0 (j): The timezone could not be found in the database

I looked around on the internet and found a handful of similar error, though more often than not it was an error 500 and not the error 0 I got. I followed their instructions anyway.

• make sure files are writable. screen
• make sure you have a timezone set in your php.ini
• Add -> suPHP_ConfigPath /home/YOURNAME/public_html to my .htaccess

...a little embarrassing, my log path pointed to a folder that didn't exist. I blindly trusted joomla when it told me my error path was writable. eff me, right?
