|

Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) was conceived to allow client-side use of language-specific characters in domain names without requiring any existing infrastructure (DNS servers, mall servers, etc., including associated protocols) to change. Accordingly, the corresponding original [RFC 3490](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3490) clearly states that IDNA is employed at application level, not on the server side.
|
||||
Hence, DNS servers never see any IDN domain name, which means DNS records do not store IDN domain names at all, only their [Punycode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode) representations.

### Error while loading data from the long-term database
|
||||
|
||||
If requesting a lot of data from the long-term database you get this error
|
||||
|
||||
```code
|
||||
An unknown error occurred while loading the data.
|
||||
|
||||
Check the server's log files (/var/log/lighttpd/error-pihole.log) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
You may need to increase PHP memory limit.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find more info in pi-hole's FAQ:

||||
https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/faq/#error-while-loading-data-from-the-long-term-database
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:**
|
||||
|
||||
You need to increase PHP's memory and restart the server.
|
||||
|
||||
The amount of memory needed depends on many factors:
|
||||
|
||||
- available system RAM,
|
||||
- other processes running on your device,
|
||||
- the amount of data you want to process.
|
||||
|
||||
One approach would be to increase the limit by 128M and check if it was enough to retrieve the data.
|
||||
If not, add another 128M, check again. If not, add another 128M, check again, until you find the best value.
|
||||
|
||||
_Note:_
|
||||
Do not assign all available memory as this can freeze your system.
|
||||
Please consider the possibility that your system does not have enough memory at all to load all the needed data.
|
||||
|
||||
_Steps to increase `memory_limit`:_
|
||||
|
||||
Open or create `.user.ini` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo nano /var/www/html/.user.ini
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add (or change) the memory limit (common abbreviation M=megabyte, G=gigabyte):
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
memory_limit = 256M
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Restart the web server:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo service lighttpd restart
|
||||
```
