Paypal IPN settings

Notification URL    http://www.heritageseminary.com/paypal/ipn/ipn.cfm

Below is my config setup sent to payppal.

config.cfm

<cfset paypal["notify_url"]="http://www.heritageseminary.com/paypal/ipn/ipn.cfm">

When a payment is made, I receive the  I am receiving the following error:

Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:

This is the URL that paypal is trying to connect with.

http://www.heritagesemianary.com/http://www.heritageseminary.com/paypal/ipn/ipn.cfm

When I check the IPN history, the status shows still trying.

When I click Message ID, I get the following address:

Notification URL http://www.heritagesemianary.com/http://www.heritageseminary.com/paypal/ipn/ipn.cfm

Any idea as to where I should be looking?

<cfset paypal["notify_url"]="paypal/ipn/ipn.cfm">
