Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.chinese domains are registered trough a transliteration, for example hotel supplies became: xn--jvrt2ug1s7xz but reat part of domain registration companies worldwide don't permit to register domains with consecutive double - (minus) but for example this is a real website gong well: xn--jvrt2ug1s7xz.com and also domain access module, if I try to add a domain record with double minus as xn--jvrt2ug1s7xz it giv me error without possibilityto configure it, the error say: The domain value must be unique.

Comment #1
matteoraggi commentedIt look that main tips about this issue are coming from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name we need to getthis module IDN compliant as many websites registering domains arenot yet IDN compatible.
Comment #2
matteoraggi commented.info domains are not yet compatible with chinese transliteration, anyway I hope that this tip about IDN can be useful.
Comment #3
agentrickardThese are two separate issues.
You should not be getting that error on that domain string. The error message only appears in the
domain_validate()function, and callsdomain_unique_domain()which clearly only cares about uniqueness, not the string value.The function
domain_valid_domain()examines the string itself, and also does not care about the -- construction, as far as I can tell.As for IDN support, that came up before #294722: Ease Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) handling and would be better discussed there.
Comment #4
matteoraggi commentedI have one more info , the domain xn--jvrt2ug1s7xz.info is not yet being registered, maybe this is giving the error?
Comment #5
agentrickardI can add that domain with no problem (see attached). You aren't trying to create an alias, are you?
Comment #6
matteoraggi commentedI don't have domain alias enabled,
anyway it work: http://www.xn--jvrt2ug1s7xz.co.cc/ my problem was that more of 90% of world whois don'twork with chinese domains and .infodomain was just taken, plus (I don't know if it is important), my last 3 domains added was configured into domain access module without www, insead all others was with www, when adding ww I get this error, and it answer this error but it work: http://xn--jvrt2ug1s7xz.co.cc/sites/all/modules/domain/tests/200.png is not responding and may not be configured correctly at the server level. Server code 301 was returned. so then I take off the www from domain field in this page: admin/build/domain/edit/DOMAINID and it don't go giving this error when going to http://www.xn--jvrt2ug1s7xz.co.cc/ Access denied. You may need to login below or register to access this page.
but then I delete the www, save and it go, this problem it is not for chiense domain, but for my last 7 added domains plus this chinese, now I go to patch them deleting www, but all others domains are working well with www, I don't know why.
Comment #7
matteoraggi commentedanyway something strange is happening, because all of these domains now do't give error on home page (it was something like do login access denied) but now they show the homepage of main domain and the same blocks also if the blocks are not setted to be showed these, other domains example: www.hotelsupplies.tv and some other domains, all with the same problem.

agentrickardThese are all internal server issues and/or configuration problems addressed in the documentation.
