We have 3 instances for our sites: dev , qa and PROD. Some articles with DOIs link go to dev-url and some goes to qa-urls.

If i am in PROD site archives. when i click on DOIs in some articles, some takes me to dev site urls and some to qa site urls however they should stay on the prod site urls.

steps tried:

  1. DOI plugin settings : REASSIGNED DOIs however it didn’t work and all DOIs were removed so had to go with ASSIGN DOIs

What application are you using?
3.3.0.13

Are all the sites running on the same OJS application / server?
If yes, it might be a problem of .htacces rules.

For a given DOI, you may also check the URLs in the response of the Crossref API:
https://api.crossref.org/works/{doi}?mailto={youremailaddress}
If something is wrong there, you should check your DOIs and registration process.

Also, make sure that you don’t enable the Crossref Export plugin for dev and qa in any case (whether multi-server or not).

hi @mpbraendle thanks for your reply. I had DOI plugin enabled on dev and qa. I assume crossref export/import plugin was sending detail from dev. i just diabled DOI plugins on dev and qa. Further more i resent articles with wrong DOI from prod site.
