• open /etc/nginx/nginx.conf with write privileges
• uncomment or add server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
• restart nginx sudo service nginx restart

• increase server_names_hash_bucket_size in steps 128, 256, 512, and so on (increasing by a power of 2 each time). eg. server_names_hash_bucket_size 128;
• restart the nginx each time until error is gone (error will always be the same no matter what value you already set)
