Nginx server_name 中的 Unicode 域名

Question

I am trying to set up a server with a domain name called "privatinstruktør.dk" but keeps getting redirected to the default "welcome to nginx" page.

I have tried to type in the server_name like this:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name privatinstruktør.dk;

  location / {
    root /var/www/privat;
  }
}

but that did not work. So I tried using regular expressions like:

server_name "~^privatinstrukt(.+)r\.dk$";

and

server_name "~^privatinstrukt(.*)r\.dk$";

and even

server_name "~^privat(.*)$";

But all fails and I am redirected to the default page. Does anyone have a hint on how to fix this?

Answer 1

在nginx中使用punycode格式配置一个Unicode域名：

server_name xn--privatinstruktr-jub.dk;

Answer 2

Use only the Punycode name:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name xn--privatinstruktr-jub.dk;

  location / {
    root /var/www/privat;
  }
}

which is what the Nginx Docs say:

Internationalized domain names (IDNs) should be specified using an ASCII (Punycode) representation in the server_name directive
