Diagnosing the Problem – 403 Errors during Migrations

Overview

While migrating databases to new farms and new web applications, you may run into 403 errors when browsing the sites.  A 403 error is basically indicating that the site is forbidden, usually because of an authentication failure.

Potential Solution:

Check out your Authentication Providers underneath the Central Admin Operations.

Drill into the details of the web application that you have created and are migrating too.  You should have at least the default zone.

Check your authentication mechanism and make sure that its consistent with your design, Central Administration and your SSP.
