ServerTokens Directive

[Arguile]

To actually change the server tokens you need to recompile, but you can turn them off with the ServerTokens directive.

Unfortunately, “[the] setting[s] appl[y] to the entire server, and cannot be enabled or disabled on a virtualhost-by-virtualhost basis.” Which means it must be used in the main server configuration files. Some ISPs can be convinced to turn them off completely on a security basis — other than that you’re out of luck.

That changes what comes after 'Apache' in the Server header, not the 'Apache' string itself.

For some reason I recall being able to specify ServerTokens Off. That doesn't appears in the docs though (and gives a syntax error) and I doubt that option would have been taken out. It must have been a hacked in feature (work had a set of patches).

Sorry for the confusion.
