I was creating some subdomains for a few nodes this morning and I had a problem with a couple of nodes that "vanished" on me. When I tried to view the node - using the URL alias I created for it - I got a 403 Page not found error. I ended up just deleting the old nodes and recreating them. The strange thing was that I had to change the title of the nodes. If I named it the same I would get the error again.
I tried clearing the site cache to see if that would correct the problem but I was still getting the error. Has anyone else run into a similar problem?

403 is Permission Denied. Do you mean 404? And by subdomains, were you using the Domain module or setting up completely separate Drupal sites?
The 404-but-the-node-definitely-exists error can occur if you delete users and there are still nodes owned by the non-existent user ID. The node will appear in the node table and any views that just do a SELECT, but fail when going through node_load.
Try "UPDATE node SET uid=1" which will revert ownership of all nodes to admin. (Note: Do not do this on sites with user-generated content!).

Actually I was creating sub domains using cPanel. All I did was create the sub domain and give it a redirect with an absolute path to the node I wanted.
I am not sure if that had anything to do with it but I figured I might as well mention what I was doing when the page vanished.
Since I have no user generated content on that site I can try the UPDATE suggestion.
Is that something that I need to do on the server itself or something that can be done from withing Drupal? I am using Host Gator and I don't have complete control over the server that I am using.

Use phpMyAdmin in your Hostgator control panel. Be sure to take a backup :)
