      URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL: Failed to convert сисадмин-в-офис.рф to ACE; could not convert string to UTF-8  (screenshot)

 

As I understand it, the problem occurs at the stage of redirecting from sysadmin-to-office.ru to сисадмин-в-офис.рф. 

if i change url to http://сисадмин-в-офис.рф it works fine!

Yes, it works fine

 

http://сисадмин-в-офис.рф 

With Russian domain it works fine too!

 

But I need to check this URL http://sysadmin-to-office.ru. -> it will redirect to https://сисадмин-в-офис.рф/

With this check, I check that the redirect is working. 

Therefore I can't use "https://xn-----6kcjiwcd5alo0abk7b.xn–p1ai/" in URL, I need to use "http://sysadmin-to-office.ru"

 

And if I use this URL (http://sysadmin-to-office.ru) I had error:

URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL: Failed to convert сисадмин-в-офис.рф to ACE; could not convert string to UTF-8.

I resolved it.

The problem was at the server site's side.

 

.htaccess has wrong redirect:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://сисадмин-в-офис.рф/$1 [R=301,L]

 

I changed it to and the problem resolved:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://xn-----6kcjiwcd5alo0abk7b.xn--p1ai/$1 [R=301,L]
