I have looked through the forum for my issue - thought I found a solution here, and went to admin> configuration> my store> and changing the cURL proxy status to "false". This didn't help. My domain is not set up with GoDaddy, but it's a sister company, I guess, called domainnameroundup.

I'm trying to send out a newsletter to my 230 customers. When I hit send, it hangs and I get the 500 internal error. When I created my website over a year ago, I made a fake name to test things. My fake name gets the newsletter. But, I made a new fake name about an hour ago, and that one didn't get the newsletter. So, I'm assuming that only the first few customers that signed up, are actually getting it.



After some research, I found that I needed to check my debug log files. There are a bunch and they all say the same thing:

"PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\Hosting\2173582\html\ipn_main_handler.php on line 186"



So, I check my ipn_main_handler.php file on line 186, and this it what it says:

if (ipn_get_stored_session($session_stuff) === false) {
ipn_debug_email('IPN ERROR :: No pending Website Payments Standard session data available. Might be a duplicate transaction already entered via PDT.');
$ipnFoundSession = false;


Like I said, after trying to figure this out, I set the cURL thing to false. And tried the newsletter again. Same issue. Should I set it back to true?



On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say that I'm a level 2 in knowing what I'm doing. I need serious help because I don't want to screw something up.
Please advise with step-by-step instructions. I'm desperate.
