Could someone please tell me why I get 403 error when trying to acces my web page. I get the message that "You have no permission to acces / on this server".

Are you using apache?
When asking in this forum try to be more specific.

If you are using apache, try looking at you access.conf file. If itīs empty look at your httpd.conf file and search for the root directory entry. It will be something like this.
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
(this is the "/" of your web server. A index.htm under this directory will be the default page to serve)
Then look for <Directory "/var/www/html"> (where "/var/www/html/" is your actual Document Root)
and look for the permission access in this.
It will be something like:
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Change this to Allow from all. That makes your web server public. Be careful.

Yes I am using Apache, and thanks for your input. But the allow from all is set. This is a server that I have root access to this server and all the other virtual domains are set with someone else. I just copied one of the directories in the httpd.conf file and replaced the domain with my new domain and the rest remained the same and then I created a zone file too. But still I get the 403 permission error, even though everything else is the same.
