($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]...... and all that is well. However, there seems to
be a problem with the sql code which was done by another party. There is a
function "checkuser" which is invoked upon login from index.php. The instruction
is: checkuser(array(0,1,2,3,4,5,6));...... and there it stops.
That function hits the database repeatedly. If the problem is in fact
with a database query that it's generating you need to determine which
one. You could step through the function with a PHP debugger or just
insert log/printing statements in the function so you can see its progress.
Alternately, run the problem checkuser() function then in psql run:
select * from pg_stat_activity;
and see if there are any long-running queries in there that correspond
to SQL generated by the checkuser() call.
Once you know which part of the function is causing a problem, you can
perhaps discover something useful. If you track it down to a particular
query that the function is generating, and you can't figure out what's
wrong by looking at the query, you can try running it with EXPLAIN in psql.
