I want to change the SERVER_SIGNATURE of my Apache server for security reasons. I don't like that everyone can see what my server is. Can i change this ?

Look into the ServerSignature and ServerTokens directives. Something like the following should work for what you are wanting to do:

Code:

ServerSignature Off
ServerTokens Prod


ServerSignature changes what is displayed on Error pages
ServerTokens changes what is sent in the actual HTTP headers.
