RE: HTTP instance error - This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage.

It wasn't an authority and/or permission issue.
Somewhere in my httpd.conf file, there was a bad character.
I cleared my httpd.conf file, copied it from other LPAR, which was working.
Then edited the IP.

Is there a tool or something that would check/scrub the httpd.conf file for a validity check.
