[solved]Newsletter Made Simple timing out on send page, with only 2 subscribers?

[Stoob]

Hi, in generally NMS seems like a good module.  I ran into an issue during my final test of NMS.   Please help, thanks!

During the "process job" phase a page opens and states that it is processing the job and not to close the page.  I have 2 people on my mailing list.  That's it.  The page "hangs" meaning it just sits there and never says it is done.  Eventually, after about 3 minutes, a prompt comes up for me to download a .php page.  Obviously the PHP script has timed out or something like that.

I have read the Help page here: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... /NM_S  to no avail.  There are no other docs I can find.

This is my current setup, I am hosted on LunarPages.  The interesting part is that the messages are actually sent even though the script times out and causes an error.  After the error occurs, I cannot login to the Admin section for about 2-3 minutes, probably something is looping and bogging down the server.

[/b] how can i fix? [/b] thanks

I have solved this issue:

Refer to this page [ http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... g_disabled ] on the optimal settings for your server.  In my case, I increased the max_execution_time to 120 from 30 and that gave the NMS email send  script enough time to run.

30 seconds just wasn't long enough.
