Hi

Under Reading Tools Setup the “Validate URLs for Reading Tools” link I presume goes through and tries to check the URLs contained in all published abstracts? I could only find a brief mention of it in OJS. In my test conference I juts have a few abstracts but if I click on it I get after quite a while a page that says:

Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses 
an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Server error log is this:

Hi @MikeL,

This checks the links in the Reading Tools to external databases that might be useful for readers; it’s not checking anything related to your papers/abstracts. I don’t think this feature is useful to you, but if you want to use it, you’ll need to edit your web server configuration to permit scripts to run longer.

Okies I totally misunderstood what this was for. Yep I wont need it.
Aside: How does it get fed the external databases to search? What databases?

Hi @MikeL,

The lists of databases are included in the software. See e.g.:
