Editing /etc/hosts leads to 403 Forbidden errors
Way off topic here...
I called our application server vendor because some of our testers were having trouble accessing our web application in our testing environment. The solution I was given was to edit the server's /etc/hosts file, removing all but the localhost entry.
This appeared to work, but two of our users are now getting 403 Forbidden errors (one of these was able to connect before I edited the file). Others, including myself, can connect to the application. The two users having trouble now are able to ping the server, but their requests to the web application (which return 403) are not appearing in the application's access log.
I don't know as much about networks as I would like, so I'm looking for any clues as to what could be wrong. Any ideas? Can editing the /etc/hosts file affect users' permissions?
Thanks!
