Access denied 403 errors after migrating my site
- by AgA
I've recently migrated my Joomla site from one shared hosting to another with Hostgator. GWT notified me about many 403 access denied pages. I've checked with Firebug too, and even though browser is displaying full page correctly but http return is 403. I've checked the home page but it's correctly returing 200 response.
The same is shown by Fetch as Google in GWT(pasted this in the bottom).
The site is 3 years old and I regularly do such migrations. I've copied the files and database "AS IS". I've even cleared all the caches but no luck.
There is only one change: previously the site was primary domain but now it's add-on one.
What could be the issue?
This is how Googlebot fetched the page.
