The purpose of that URL is to grab the extension lists and extension advertisements and show them on the extensions page. Replace that one line and the issue will be resolved!

The issue is - OpenCart does not send emails after order checkout or account registration. I don't mean that the server is failing to send the mail (I'm running my own email server and there is no trace of any email being sent in the logs), but that the OpenCart installation doesn't even get to the code where mail is supposed to be sent.
