Hector, to disable apache server signature (it's on by default) you should add this to your httpd.conf and restart apache: ServerSignature Off The ServerTokens directive applies to HTTP Server response header only. Take a look at apache manual for more details: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#serversignature http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#servertokens Best regards. -- Alex Muntada <alexm at ac.upc.es> http://people.ac.upc.es/alexm/
