For the past few days I have ben attempting to send a newsletter to my members and continue to get a 500 - Internal server error when I click "Send". We are a new forum and have approximately 1,000 members. I have not had this problem until recently.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

With the newsletter pro software or SMF in general?

Sounds like you are reaching a memory limit. I would check the forum's error log for any relevant errors.

with newsletter pro..

here is what the error log says:

Any advice?

And what version of SMF?

500 error I would try to increase the memory limit in php and the max execution time if possible.

[jgmayes]

SMF 1.1.11

to increase the memory limit in php or max. execution time; is that done in the server setting from host? Or is that a setting in SMF?

[SMFHacks]

This is generally done on the hosted side. If you have access to the php.ini it can be increased there as well.
If the host can't do I can tell you where to add some code in SMF itself that might help.

[jgmayes]

Well I found that I was able to create a php5.ini file and modify the settings. However this crashed other portions of the site, since I am on a Windows server.... I did not know the difference between Linux and Windows but now I am going to make the switch. Unfortunately my store is in NOP so I have to rebuild it.

Any temporary fixed to the max esecution problem why I rebuild my store in something else?

[SMFHacks]

Try this code edit

Open Sources/ManageNews.php

Find

Code:

function SendMailing()
{

Add After

Code:

@ini_set('memory_limit', '128M');
@ini_set('max_execution_time',600');

thx SMFHacks, I increased the memory limit in php.ini and that solved the problem.
