nginx: [emerg] could not build the server_names_hash, you should increase server_names_hash_bucket_size
15:31 15 Dec 2012

I'm in the process of setting up a new server. The web server of my choice is NGINX. I want to add the domain (e.g., example.com) as a virtual host. I already have two other domains in there, and it works fine, but when I try to add the above mentioned domain, and start the server, it gives me:

Job failed. See system journal and 'systemctl status' for details.

I thought it was because of the dashes, so I tried just various other domains with and without hyphens, but without any luck. It is the same error. What could be causing this?

I also tried rebooting, I am really at a loss here.

I have played around a bit and found out, that, when I only put one domain in, it works. But when I put another domain in, it stops. Here is the output in status:
