How to change server signature

[ahmtech123]

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the server signature.

For example when going to a directory listing or a missing page at the bottom it displays
Apache/2.0.47 (Fedora) Server at foo.com Port 80

Anyway to hide this or change the values?

Thank you.

Take a look at

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#servertokens

ahmtech123,

You can use a custom ErrorDocument when a page does not exist. What exactly do you want to customize?

ahmtech123:
You can certainly customize the behavior of PHP's "ServerTokens" directive by modifying the Apache source code and installing from that modified version. I have, for example, modified my Apache installation so that the "ServerTokens" directive will take the value "Foo", which changes the "Server:" HTTP response header to read "Server: FOO".

Sleipnir that is exactly what i plan on doing. Is this hard to modify. Where can I find the source code.

All it takes to modify source code is a text editor. Of course, a good working knowledge of c-language would help...

The Apache source code is available where it has always been available:
