Apache 2.2.3 on OpenSuSE - Error 404

FirebarUK · 31 Mar 2007 at 14:18

Hi,

I've just noticed that if I put in an incorrect URL into my browser for a webpage on my server (that doesnt exist) it shows an error 404. Understandable, yet on that page is then says what OS I'm running and the Version of Apache. I don't particularly want it to say that, any idea how I can remove any additional server info from error messages?

Thanks

Ooops, no worries I've found the offending echo statement.

Ah yes, just captured a couple of packets and there it is. I should have realised that tbh.

Thanks

This may sound like a silly question but is there any way to totally mask it? I'd imagine it would put off a lot of attackers. I'm guessing there isnt a way, especially if its sent through IP headers as I suppose its there for a required reason.

Thanks, I've never heard of dreamcasting before so I'll look into that for interest.
