Nginx proxy several domains to different ports

I have a server with nginx listening to port 80 and has configs for several domain names, connections to which should be proxied to different ports.

Here are my config files:

domain1

#This is for redirecting everyone from www.domain.com to domain.com
server {
    listen   80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
    #listen   [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

    server_name www.domain1.com;

    return 301 $scheme://domain1.com$request_uri;
}

server {
        listen   80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
        #listen   [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

        server_name domain1.com;

        location / {
                proxy_pass http://localhost:8081/;
                proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        }
}

domain2

#This is for redirecting everyone from www.domain.com to domain.com
server {
    listen   80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
    #listen   [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

    server_name www.domain2.com;

    return 301 $scheme://domain2.com$request_uri;
}

server {
        listen   80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
        #listen   [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

        server_name domain2.com;

        location / {
                proxy_pass http://localhost:8090/;
                proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        }
}

domain3

#This is for redirecting everyone from www.domain.com to domain.com
server {
    listen   80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
    #listen   [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

    server_name www.domain3.com;

    return 301 $scheme://domain3.com$request_uri;
}

server {
        listen   80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied
        #listen   [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

        server_name domain3.com;

        location / {
                proxy_pass http://localhost:8091/;
                proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        }
}

All these config files are (as usual) located in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ and symlinked to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

When i added first file everything worked as a charm, when i added second file it is the same, after adding third file nginx stopped giving me any messages when i try to do service nginx reload or service nginx restart or service nginx start.

It responds to service nginx stop and service nginx status. Apparently these functions work, but other functions in these preconditions are not responding and do not do anything. The output below is just copy-paste from my console.

# service nginx status
[ ok ] nginx is running.
# service nginx reload
# service nginx restart
# service nginx stop
[ ok ] Stopping nginx: nginx.
# service nginx start
# service nginx status
[FAIL] nginx is not running ... failed!
#

If i remove symlink to the third file everything works perfectly again.

So here is the question -- is it something wrong with my setup? or my logic? or with nginx?

The environment is: 

- Debian Squeeze x64
- Nginx version 1.2.6

the symptoms you're having indicate that your nginx config with the 3th file is incorrect, which is why the reload is failing

The output of nginx -t should tell you where in your config the problem is.
