I want to put the login form on my index page directly. I have put the code as it is but it is giving the following error

The form did not come from this page! (referer = http://teckie:8080/moodle/)

What is the problem?

That's a security feature in Moodle.

It's to stop a bad hacker (cracker) from writing a simple script that repeatedly calls your login page attempting to guess a password and gain entry.

Setting "buggy_referer" to true in config.php will stop this behaviour.
