Change DNS and after 403 Forbidden

[rodolfo.net]

Hello,

I change the hostname of:
server.domain1.com to server.domain2.net
It is OK.

And I change the DNS's of:
ns1.domain1.com to master.domain2.net
ns2.domain1.com to slave.domain2.net
It is OK too.

Now, I need change the nameservers of all files of /usr/named/domains.com.db

First, I make the backup of all files of /usr/named/domains.com.db

And, I try use this:

replace 'ns1.domain1.com' 'master.domain2.net' -- /var/named/*.db

and

replace 'ns2.domain1.com' 'slave.domain2.net' -- /var/named/*.db

But after this, all websites returned this error:

403 - Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

After this error, I restored the backup of /var/named/

Why ??? I made something wrong ???

If I change the nameservers of /var/named/domains.com.db using WHM - Edit DNS, this error doesn't occurred.

Please, help-me.

Thank you,
Rodolfo.

The DNS zone files in /var/named were probably owned by root (instead of named) after you made the changes. Try the following:

chown named:named /var/named/*

Looks like you may have forgotten a few items ....

1. You MUST restart "named" after make changes to the zone files
before any of the changes will take effect.

2. Don't forget to update the serial number on each zone file else it may
take longer for the changes to take effect.

3. Remember that DNS changes are not necessarily instantaneous. Either
or both your own ISP and / or your own computer at home could have the
old original DNS information cached in which case you may no longer be
able to access sites from your home computer until that cache expires.

4. I am assuming you properly registered the new DNS servers at your
registrar where you purchased "domain2.net"

You can run following command from shell as root to check the exact reason of 403 error.

tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
