[RESOLVED] Want to hide apache signature

sneakyimp

My debian linux box is always identifying itself verbosely in http headers and when errors (like 404 not found) appear. Something like this:
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 404
www.mydomain.com
Mon Aug 20 17:34:12 2007
Apache/2.0.54 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.10-18 mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.4

How do I turn off all that ID stuff? I know it's possible to replace the 404 page with another one, but I have noticed that this same information (apache version, php version, etc.) also appear in http headers for each http request.

Look at the error documents bit on page one.

Thanks, but like I said, this version information is also broadcast in every http header as well. Changing the error pages alone is not sufficient. I will do this, however.

Ah, I see sorry. Not sure about that part, but try this;

I posted a question at linuxquestions.org and got a link to this page which helps.

Your link though addresses the second half too--how to hide php--which is great! Thanks!
